An old, but sometimes still effective tactic...

Reminds me how the British used 22 mines and close to 500 tons of explosives to blow up Messines Ridge near Ypres in in 1917:

I believe only 19 of the mines went off. One was discovered and destroyed by the Germans and the other two are still buried under the Belgian countryside somewhere...

Wow. I wonder how long the Syrian rebels were working on that.
