“Sponge bombs” against Hamas: How Israel “seals” the tunnels under Gaza – Newsbomb – News

Israel’s main goal Msof the invasion of Gaza is the destruction of tens of kilometers of tunnels running under Gazaso they can move undetected and hide weapons and ammunition.

While the fighting is raging throughout the region, as reported by skai.gr, the Israelis have developed and thrown into battle a new weapon, the sponge bombs, which do not contain explosives, but are used to close gaps or tunnel entrances from which may turn out to be fighters.

The “Gaza Metro,” as the tunnels dug by Hamas are called, is a vast and complex system of tunnels believed to stretch for hundreds of kilometers. These tunnels are believed to be full of traps.

Specifically, it is a container of two chemicals that when combined under certain conditions create a foam that expands quickly and then hardens. In this way the Israeli forces seek to seal and block the Hamas tunnels.
