Israel is said to have completed installing at least five pumps about a mile north of the Al-Shati refugee camp that could move thousands of cubic metres of water per hour - meaning they could flood the 300-mile network of tunnels within weeks.
Their plan would be to drive out the terrorists from the tunnels and make them inoperable by flooding the system with seawater from the Mediterranean Sea.
And now, images released by the IDF appear to show scores of Israeli soldiers setting up a series of black pipes on the sandy beaches of Gaza. Video shared by Israeli media also appears to show IDF soldiers working on the pipes while underground.
It emerged on Monday that Israel has assembled a system of large pumps it could use to flood Hamas's vast network of tunnels under the Gaza Strip with sea water, according to US officials.
Whilst a mission aimed at flooding the tunnels underneath Gaza with sea water could wipe out the terrorists hiding there, it would also put the lives of the 138 hostages held captive by Hamas at risk.
But it's not clear if Israel would even consider using the pumps before all the hostages are released.

The IDF is giving the Palestinians warning to vacate the tunnels. If they leave the hostages to die is that the fault of IDF or Hamas???
the threat of flooding alone has strategic value even if it is not done. Setting up pipes makes the threat more credible
Bkmk
The tunnels are full of boobie traps, and flooding them. Ay safely detonate the traps rather than risk lives by sending in soldiers.
As someone who performs a lot of dewatering activities, this will take enormous high Head pumps, fuel, and large amount of hose.
They shouldn’t have announced it, slammed hamas sending them retreating into the tunnels, then flooding them, and guarding the exits so none could escape without being captured.
When I was a kid ( in the 60s) we’ed flood gopher holes and shoot them when they would pop out. They would run to another hole if we missed (often), we would put a rock over the first hole, and start flooding the 2nd hole.
Farmers paid a bounty.
Good times.
The mental image of drowning Hamas rats comforts me greatly.
“They should be using raw sewage.”
From a pig farm.
The ceasefire ended because HAMAS ran out of woman and children to hand over... Meaning any woman and children that they didn’t hand over, likely aren’t alive anymore.
Any male prisoners were likely killed within hours of being captured.
The tales from those released so far are of being tortured and badly mistreated, so if any remaining hostages do die during this flooding operation it will likely be a godsend.
In order to even consider not flooding the tunnels, Israel should demand irrefutable PROOF that there are hostages still alive.

There should be no Palestinian Authority. Terror from groups like Hamas and the Palestinians who support them or remain silent on their plans will never stop committing atrocities like this. End them.
“What ever happened to TNT, dynomite, re-directed sewer, sarin gas?”
Well, they’re pumping it out of the Med, it might be close to sewer water, at least.
PUMPS MUST be HIGH capacity & MUST be able to have salt water put thru them.
MOST regular pumps are NOT designed to handle the corrosive effects of salt water.
VERY GOOD PLAN !!!!!!!
very moment of their life and their very life is dedicated to destruction of the Jew.
Giving them a source of constant revenue will place that hatred on steroids, with more finances to carry out even more evil plots.
Remember, the Jew is the small Satan.
We are the great Satan, and given opportunity, they would love to show us some of that same love, if only they had the resources to do so.
Giving them a steady stream of finances is not such a good idea.
Doing stuff to make them fear saying great Satan above a whisper for a 1000 years would be a much more effective approach to end this bullshit.
Hamas and the PLO have turned the whole Gaza Strip into a reverse mental hospital that’s designed to take already mentally challenged, inbred children and turn them into mass murdering anti-semetic psychotics. There is little that can be done with such individuals.
Too bad they can’t add a Florescent Pink Dye
“..What ever happened to TNT, dynomite, re-directed sewer, sarin gas?..”
when you think about it... it’s actually a good idea.
if you want to know where all the entrances are...look for water pouring out of a house/building...
