I am pretty damn near certain of one thing: The IDF has consulted expert civil engineers who understand the geology and soil mechanics of the region far better than almost anyone, like yours truly, speculating on the internet.
But speculation is fun.
“But speculation is fun.”
Isn’t it though!
When I think about flooding the tunnels in Gaza I see the ground slumping down over a period of years and buildings starting to lean this way and that. This slow destruction gives the populace time to scuttle to safer ground as the buildings slowly reach the tipping point and fall over like Chinese high rises. Children crying and women wailing in the background as men yell and scream. Delicious!
Yes, I’m sure the IDF equivalent of the US Army Corps of Engineers is well aware of the results of flooding the tunnels. It is their bailiwick after all.
