Al-Marsad Newspaper: Military expert, Jamal Al-Rifai, revealed the type of weapons used by Israel to target the Hamas tunnel network in Gaza.
Smart bombs
According to Sky News, Al-Rifai said that Israel is using smart bombs to destroy the tunnels, after Washington had previously refused to provide them, and that they have two types of warheads: the first is destructive, the second is used to break through the tunnel. fortifications and concrete.
He claimed that these bombs can penetrate 3 layers of concrete before exploding and are effective against tunnels.
Bounce or seismic bombs
He explained that Israel also relies on ricochet or seismic bombs, which tamper with the Earth’s outer crust by sending out huge recoil waves like an earthquake, causing the targeted building or tunnel to vibrate strongly, tampering with its foundations and causing it to collapse .
He stated that this bomb is dropped from warplanes and can be dropped from tanks and artillery.
Sponge bombs
He highlighted the possibility of using sponge bombs, which are not well known, and may have been made specifically to serve Israel.
He stressed that these bombs are not explosive and their method of operation is very complex. They contain chemicals inside them, with a separator between them. Once the bomb is activated, this separator is removed. The chemicals merge and the bomb produces a massive foam or spongy substance that blocks the tunnel openings and turns into a solid substance that is difficult to remove. Israeli soldiers use these bombs, as well as tank guns, and the issue here hinges on a high intelligence capability to detect these openings.
Nerve gas bombs
He pointed out that Israel also supplied its soldiers with nerve gas bombs, despite them being banned internationally, as one gram of this gas is capable of killing an adult in seconds.
