Thanks for the well researched information there, though I was more talking about how Israel will insist that bombing gaza to rubble is necessary to "stop Hamas" and then in the next breath mention how their bombs are ineffective against Hamas because of the tunnels. More pointing out their lack of consistency in their bullshit, rather than actual, tangible reasons why they don't attack the tunnels directly. But now I get to learn a little more about the tunnel warfare in the region, which is something I don't really know much about, so I appreciate it!

I forgot to mention that Foreign Affairs and The Economist are pretending Israel will follow the rules of war. Of course they won't. I really wanted to know what war crimes method Israel might use to kill as many people in the tunnels as possible as fast as possible. If there's an effective way Israel can use chemical weapons or similar - they will simply commit war crimes and - bad pun intended - deal with the fallout later. Israel wants to keep their casualty absolutely numbers low as possible and they want to "accomplish their mission" whatever that actually is as fast as possible. My hunch is that they have about a few months max if Biden decides he doesn't want to destroy his 2024 for the benefit of Israel and their war. Also - Biden definitely doesn't want Israel to kill so many people - Hezbollah enters the war because I think his 2024 hopes die that very day.

I don't know what the situation is in the middle east well at all. But Hezbolah and syria and jordan? could all just be waiting for israel to commit their ground forces to gaza. This situation would be so much more likely to lead to WW3 than Ukraine ever was.
