Israel's New Technology to Neutralize Terror Tunnels
(Ynet News) Yoav Zitun - The tunnel dug by Palestinian Islamic Jihad that was exploded by the IDF on Monday did not yet have an exit point in Israel, even though it penetrated into Israeli territory. Israel has installed new technology on the Gaza border with extremely sensitive sensors, which alerted IDF forces in the sector that a tunnel being dug underground had crossed the border. In tandem with the new technology, the IDF has been installing a new underground obstacle to neutralize tunnels. It will physically block tunnels using a thick concrete wall that penetrates deep below ground. Upon detecting a tunnel, it pumps in liquid cement to destroy it. The system is also capable of overcoming attempts to dig tunnels beneath the wall.
