The IDF has started pumping seawater into Hamas’s underground tunnel system in Gaza, The Wall Street Journal reports, citing “US officials briefed on the Israeli military’s operations.”
IDF chief Herzi Halevi said last week that flooding the tunnels is “a good idea, but I won’t comment on its specifics.”
The military has refused to comment on details of its operations to destroy the tunnel infrastructure.
According to the report, the flooding of the Hamas tunnels began sometime last month.
Environmental experts have warned that the move will have long-lasting effects on the groundwater in the Strip.
