Israel's security services have begun to plan for the possibility that
Palestinians will dig tunnels under the West Bank security fence.

"We are taking the steps required to block this threat," said one senior
security official.

Head of Central Command, Maj.-Gen. Moshe Kaplinsky, recently discussed the
matter with other security officials, focusing on the most problematic
areas.

While in many areas the ground is not conducive to digging tunnels without
heavy equipment, there are a number of areas where the ground is softer.
