While the bloodshed in the ongoing clashes and bombardment between Israel and Hamas since October 7 increases day by day, the Israeli army has raided the tunnels stated to be used by Hamas in Gaza, according to the US publication Wall Street Journal. He started pumping the water.
“TUNNELS WILL BE DESTROYED”
The newspaper’s report also included the opinion of an unnamed person from US President Joe Biden’s team. The official said this method would “help destroy tunnels where Hamas is believed to be hiding fighters and ammunition.”
DRINKING WATER RESOURCES ARE IN DANGER
Another official also expressed concern that seawater would endanger drinking water supplies in Gaza.
Tunnels in Gaza also serve as a lifeline for Palestinians who have been living under Israeli blockade for years in terms of accessing basic materials.
HE SAID, “IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO FILL THE TUNNELS WITH WATER”
WSJ first announced that Israel wanted to pump water into the tunnels. Israeli Chief of General Staff Herzi Halevi said, after the news published in the US newspaper, “We are evaluating all options to prevent the use of underground tunnels. “It’s a good idea to fill the tunnels with water,” he said.
