Israel's Seawater Strategy: Flooding Hamas Tunnels to Counter Egypt's Tactics

Israel is reportedly flooding Hamas' network of underground tunnels in Gaza with seawater from the Mediterranean Sea, a tactic previously used by Egypt in 2013 and 2016. The aim is to force Hamas fighters out of the tunnels, which are believed to be used for transporting weapons and fighters into Israeli territory. Concerns have been raised about potential water pollution and environmental damage in Gaza, as well as the safety of hostages held by Hamas. The Israel Defense Forces plan to combine the flooding method with airstrikes, explosives, robots, dogs, and drones to neutralize the tunnels.
