Shock and awe, Israeli style: IDF destroys 40 smuggling tunnels in 4 minutes


The IAF showed off the Israeli version of shock and awe on Sunday afternoon, destroying 40 smuggling tunnels, which the Egyptians just couldn't seem to find, in 4 minutes.
IAF jets struck 40 smuggling tunnels connecting the Palestinian and Egyptian sides of Rafah, a Gaza Strip border town which has become a main entry point into Gaza of weapons, dynamite and other smuggled military equipment and consumer goods. According to reports, the bombing took a total of four minutes.

Also Sunday, IDF artillery batteries were deployed along the Gaza Strip border, indicating that the firepower used by the military in Operation Cast Lead so far might yet still be intensified in coming days.
Here's a report from Iran's Press TV. Could he be describing a bunker buster? Let's go to the videotape.
