"IDF's Seawater Flooding of Hamas Tunnels Raises Concerns for Hostages and Underground Operations"

The IDF has admitted to using seawater to flood Hamas' tunnels in Gaza, a move that the US has warned could endanger hostages. The tactic, which has been in use for over a month, aims to neutralize Hamas' underground infrastructure, but concerns have been raised about potential water contamination and pollution of Gaza's limited clean water supply. Despite the flooding, explosives, and airstrikes, only a fraction of Hamas' extensive tunnel network has been destroyed, with more than half of the tunnels still believed to be operational.
