They ostensibly destroy all the shafts they find, so I doubt they know how many tunnel entrances there are but they might have broad estimates.

As for the hostages, I don’t think they’re telling anyone their plans.

I’ve been thinking about this. Do they blow up tunnels without entering them? That would mean blowing up potentially valuable sources of intelligence, along with the knowledge of intersecting tunnels.

I understand it’s very dangerous to enter, but hard to imagine they simply blow it up and walk away.

Hold them under siege until they need food/water?

2 methods I've heard of them using so far (could be one-time, or could be the MO) is grenades and smoke.

they have gas masks and oxygen down there. Grenades means you have to get close.

Takes too long...
They could have enough food/water for years.

I've seen videos of robots going in with guns that are controlled from the outside (wireless or wired).

It’s probably not a one size fits all approach

On Friday unfortunately 4 Israeli soldiers were killed while uncovering a booby trapped tunnel shaft in or near a mosque.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

What a disgrace. They should be jailed and deported. Absolutely disgusting. If you hate America, please leave.

The biggest butcher of Muslim lives in recent history, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, was welcomed back to the league, as well as the Iranian President. The lengths they go to save Palestinian lives.
