New report says Israel has conducted initial tests and begun to fill Hamas's underground tunnels with water from the Mediterranean Sea.
The Israeli military has begun pumping water from the Mediterranean Sea into Hamas' tunnel network, the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday, quoting US officials familiar with the operations.
The move, still in its early stages, is one of several techniques Israel is using in its operation to eliminate the Hamas terror group.
A spokesperson for Israel's Defense Minister Yoav Gallant (Likud) declined to comment to WSJ, telling the news outlet that "tunnel operations are classified."
The Wall Street Journal report quoted the US officials as saying that Israel has installed seven industrial pumps, and began the process around when it added the last two pumps to the initial five and conducted initial testing.
(Snip)
US officials have expressed doubts about the effectiveness or feasibility of flooding a complex estimated to include hundreds of kilometers of tunnels, and have pointed out that doing so could damage Gaza's agriculture and freshwater supply. Israel is reportedly still examining whether or not flooding the tunnels is a realistic strategy, although Israeli officials have thus far declined to comment on the operation.

Gonna find out.
Outstanding! No innocent civilians will be killed.
ham ass hiding with civilian infrastructure (the water table) rather than fighting on a field of battle (as required by the Geneva Convention) is ANOTHER ham ass WAR CRIME!
Just turn the pumps on and run them 24-7 until the last one of these savages drowns in their own excrement.
Then continue pumping for another month.

Gonna find a few drown UN personnel down there...
you are describing an enema
Yea Baby! I postulated this a week or two ago. At the time I was suggesting a bulldozer creating a small canal to the Mediterranean Ocean. The water would rush in and no Israeli soldiers would have to risk their lives.
By the way, speaking of Israel and water. Israel has built a desalination industry. They are exporting drinking water to whatever country loves themselves more than they hate Israel. Every time Kalifornia talks about droughts, I remind people of the VERY LARGE body of water off the coast of Kalifornia. Israel could show Kalifornia how it’s done. The DemocRATS in Kalifornia will not, because water is just another crisis they do not want to waste.
And will create the world’s biggest sink hole.
I guess we will see if hamas engineering is stress testable.
Which means it will work.
The U.S telling Israel what to do and not do is tiresome.
Maybe Israel could take a leaf out of the U.S book and start generating tsunamis https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/australiaandthepacific/newzealand/9774217/Tsunami-bomb-tested-off-New-Zealand-coast.html
Makes bulldozing the rubble easier.
How soon before the UN starts crying and complaining about Israel is draining too much of the Mediterranean and causing erosion on the coastal lands?
I'm sure the genius Lloyd Austin has chimed in as opposing the plan.
Which means, as you say, it will work.
Best case scenario is that the Hamas tunnel rats will come to the surface along with the Israeli hostages, they will claim to have saved from drowning.
Come out, surrender to IDF with a hostage, and you get a shorter prison sentence.
After they have enough water in the tunnels, direct some sharks there. Yeah, I know, it wouldn’t work, but I can’t help but smile thinking it could.
Ya beat me :)
Then switch to concrete
