Israel's Seawater Flooding of Gaza Tunnels Escalates Conflict

Israel has reportedly begun flooding the tunnels in Gaza by pumping seawater into them, following a strategy previously employed by Egypt. The tunnels have served as a lifeline for Palestinians in Gaza, providing an alternative route for goods and people due to the Israeli siege. However, experts suggest that the Resistance has prepared for such measures, constructing tunnels to withstand intentional or natural flooding. Critics warn that flooding the tunnels with seawater would be a war crime, polluting the already salinized underground water and causing irreversible environmental damage.
