The IDF is planning to pump seawater into the Hamas tunnel network in Gaza according to a Wall Street Journal report.
Five large pumps have been assembled north of the al-Shati refugee camp during the last month, with each one capable of pumping thousands of cubic meters of seawater into the tunnels. Israel informed US officials that they were considering this option last month and needed to weigh feasibility and environmental factors against military necessity. Some US officials expressed concern about the plan while others supported the plan.

Yes! Good answer.
This could be a head fake by Israel to get them to flee the tunnels and face the music above ground. I assume the hamas rats have considered this though. Mind you,they might have thought their buddies in the press would have had the war ended by now
And why get permission from us?
I would question the competence of HAMAS engineering to create water proof doors.
Or in the case of the movie, The Dirty Dozen, gasoline poured into air ducts followed by grenades.
What’s your point?
I’m sure you’re jesting, but that’s not the article at the link I was referencing. Rather the one that talked about overdrafting, and pollution of the aquifer by human and industrial waste.
Of course they would. Do you think for a second that they wouldn't do that?
I'm sure the IDF has considered that and hopefully they have a plan. What that plan might be I don't know.
Fill them full of napalm and toss in a match
I imagine Blinken is upset. There will be no dead civilians to use as propaganda. Undoubtedly, Biden would also be upset, if he knew what his name was and what decade he was living in.
I thought that was the game plan over 3 weeks ago.
Next move the entire population into Sinai, where they can wander for 40 years until the generation that supported Hamas has been consumed.
Israel reported another 3 soldiers killed in combat today. Flooding the hamas rats will save IDF lives.
Not as upset as hamas and their presss allies would be.
They have already done this to some tunnels.
Flooding the tunnels will take weeks. A public warning is part of information warfare and helps to counter the argument that Palestinians have been victimized by a sudden new form of wickedness in warfare. In effect, Hamas and the Palestinians are being warned and offered a way out, which comports with the traditional view that a city that is to be besieged should be warned, given an opportunity to surrender, and that a path be left open for noncombatants to flee.
NAH; raw sewage, if they try to come to the surface, you can smell’em.
