Border security/ New
tunnel-detection system
Development of a new tunnel-detection system by Israel to help prevent the types of cross-border attacks experienced during last summer’s war in Gaza has progressed in recent months, a senior IDF source said Tuesday.
Israel has been seeking a system to provide it with real-time alerts on tunnel digging and underground movement, in order to thwart Hamas’s subterranean cross-border network used repeatedly during the conflict to send cells into Israel to commit deadly attacks. Thirty- two cross-border tunnels were destroyed by the IDF during the operation.
“We have been trying out a number of models in recent months with quite a few successes,” the IDF source stated. “We have tried technological solutions that brought us achievements, but it is still limited and has not given us full solutions. I want to be careful and say, don’t expect for this [a full solution] to happen now.”
