IDF official: Gaza underground wall to be done in months [View all]

Senior figure in Southern Command says concrete and water barrier will make tunneling ‘a deathtrap’ for terror groups

...The Southern Command official said that the structure will include a wall deep below the ground as well as flooding parts of the roughly 60-kilometer (40-mile) border.

The official, speaking on condition of anonymity under military briefing regulations, said the goal is to turn Hamas’s underground network into a “death trap.”

Obviously, this death trap is a violation of humanitarian law. If any peace loving teddybear terrorists are digging tunnels and they die, Israel should be dragged to the Hague for war crimes. What about the human rights of Hamas? Oh the humanity!
