@manniefabian, with satisfying KABOOM video;
The IDF says it has located and demolished a hideout apartment belonging to Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in northern Gaza, along with a large tunnel system under it.
The apartment, located on the outskirts of Gaza City, was found by the 14th Reserve Armored Brigade and later investigated by the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit, which found a tunnel shaft.
The IDF says it found “many findings” in the apartment that indicated it was used by Sinwar as a hideout.
The tunnel shaft was some 20 meters deep, and led to a 218 meter long tunnel with several branches, according to the IDF.
The underground passages featured electricity, air filtration systems, plumbing, resting and prayer rooms, and other equipment aimed at allowing senior Hamas members to remain hidden for long periods.
The tunnel was later destroyed by combat engineers, the IDF says.

We’ll use more dynamite next time just to be sure.
Keep going until it’s done.

And, that’s how it’s done.
There is seldom enough dynamite.
Evil, can never be dead enough.
Good, keep doing that. I’m kind of disappointed that the IDF doesn’t have remote control robots for tunnel fighting.
I kind of suspect that the IDF won’t be showing much of the equipment they use for tunnel fighting.
I can see the Canadian left (and especially the CBC) screaming “The IDF destroyed an underground mosque, and an adjacent sacred prayer room.”

Where’s Joe the Albertan, real name Achmed the Arab, decrying this latest perversion of humanity by the evil IDF?
Moe…
He will show up soon and call us all racist.
Talk about a one trick pony

Similar to Colter Wall of Manitoba, whose pappy was Brad.
I digress, but I like that those 2 cowboys redeemed their family names.
Hell, Colter even wrote a fine tune that had the following lines…
“Go about your earthly mission, and don’t trust no politician.”
One wonders what Brad Wall thought of that, eh?
Canadiana!
Brad Wall was Saskatchewan’s premier and his son, Colter, is from the Swift Current area. His song Sleeping on the Blacktop is wicked good.
I like to think the family originally settled at the pioneer community of Jericho, NWT, and are properly referred to as “the Walls of Jericho”. Oh, it’s bullshit, but I like to think it anyway.
I hope Youssef the Albertan caught that as he worked on his IED.
I figure Israel is a shoe-in for the 2023 Nobel’s 808 Prize.
They’d be a shoe-in for the Bata Museum, maybe. They would be shoo-d in without effort like hens to a henhouse, or whatever, to the Nobel. Don’t believe me? This is something that further evidence may shew in a new light!

I’m a little confused as to why Israel wasn’t doing daily passes prior to October on areas like this and using electromagnetic wave gradiometers to map these tunnels in advance of any offensive necessity. There would be some reflection on metal, but that in itself would document something that shouldn’t be there.
Technically, the US should be doing the same thing down on the southern border. Our excuse is purposeful stupidity, but Israel’s stakes were a little higher.
I imagine all the borders around the country are perforated. Under the West bank is probably an ant hill. The country itself may be sitting on tons of explosives..
One only needs malfeasance in a port with fuel tanks, grain silos, etc.

Interesting to see where our tax dollars for aid to Palestine go. My reaction to that spectacular blast was, OK, you can go “home” now!” Fourteen hundred years of retrograde theocracy and counting. Palestinians, the sacrificial humanity dying for the cause of eliminating Jews brought to you by the greater Jihad and their western useful idiots.
