What Does This Mean?

Israel announced that it has destroyed two tunnels running from Gaza into Israel.  One was new and another was a tunnel that Hamas was attempting to rebuild after it was severely damaged by the Israelis in 2014.  Israeli planes bombed the Gaza end of one of the tunnels and destroyed it.  The other was destroyed when the Israelis drilled into it (inside Israeli territory) and pumped it full of a material that "rendered the tunnel useless."  Hamas said in response to these events that it wasn't actually using the tunnels, but this is, no doubt, spin from the terror group.

The question of the moment, however, is what sort of material would make the tunnels unusable?  It's a mystery.  I'm curious to hear what material was used.  No doubt, we will learn the facts in time.
