The IDF is considering a 60 meter wide, 20 meters deep canal filled with water in order to prevent tunnels being built from Egypt to the Palestinian side of Rafah, IDF officials told the Jerusalem Post on Sunday. Other options include erecting a wall to prevent Palestinians from firing at troops, and widening the Philadelphia corridor. More than one option may be executed, officials say.
What a great idea! Unfortunately geography would appear to prevent the canal being extended to the Red Sea and creating an alternative to the Suez canal.
