Israel Starts Filling Hamas Tunnels In Gaza With Seawater

Officials are concerned that the seawater may jeopardize Gaza’s freshwater supplies

Seawater

US authorities stated that the Israeli military has begun pumping seawater into Hamas’ tunnel complex in Gaza, an operation that would most likely take weeks.

Some Biden administration officials have stated that the technique could aid in the destruction of tunnels where Israel believes Hamas is sheltering captives, fighters, and weaponry. Other officials are concerned that the seawater may jeopardize Gaza’s freshwater supplies.

A representative for Israel’s military ministry did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
