In the war between Israel and Hamas that has been going on since October 7, the tunnels under Gaza constitute the lifeblood of Hamas against Israel. According to a report in the Wall Street Journal, Israel will start pumping seawater from the Mediterranean in order to destroy Hamas’ underground tunnels.

The tunnel networks under Gaza, which are almost as big as a city, are used to provide humanitarian aid and basic materials for people living in the blockaded Gaza Strip.
PUMPS READY
According to information received from US officials, it was learned that five water pumps were placed around the Shati refugee camp in Gaza and the tunnels will be filled with water.
On the other hand, it was reported that keeping the Israeli hostages held by Hamas in the tunnels restrained Israel.
Another source of concern is that the sea water delivered by pumps may damage the ground and cause buildings to collapse. For these reasons, it has not yet been determined what results the plan will produce.
THERE IS ANOTHER GAZA BELOW GAZA
The Israeli army, which expanded its ground operations in Gaza, announced that there were more than 800 underground tunnels and that they destroyed some of them. Israel argues that Hamas’ tunnels are mostly around civilian areas such as hospitals, schools and mosques.
