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.

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.

Just go in and start pumping. Water seeks the lowest level, so let it do its work. It can hardly fail if gravity still works, although the einstein’s in the Pentagon may not be familiar with the concept.
AFAIC, California should dig up the remains of Mulholland replant them in the sewage treatment plants.
I thought climate change was raising sea levels. Israel is doing their part to save Gaia.
Instead of pumps,
What happens if the IDF simply plows a deep trench from the coast to the nearest tunnel and then lets Nature take its course?
Rub a dub dub ham ass in a tub. Glub glub.
It also proves just how stupid US “officials” are and why we don’t win wars.
Look for bubbles
So they know for sure the hostage’s aren’t in the tunnel?
LOL!
That would be, “VC Gophers”
LOL...perfect!
Maybe for assistance Austin could bring along his favorite butt boy, Thoroughly Modern Milley.
I thought Hamas dug up all the irrigation pipes and converted them into rockets.

The European Union helped to build more than 30 miles of water pipelines for Palestinians despite Hamas terrorists boasting of their ability to forge an arsenal of home-made rockets from pipes.
Brussels has poured almost €100 million into pipeline projects in territories controlled by the Islamist group over the last decade

Yeah, salting the Gazan water table, like the farmland of Carthage.
