Israel has assembled a system of large pumps it could use to flood Hamas’s vast network of tunnels under the Gaza Strip with seawater, a tactic that could destroy the tunnels and drive the fighters from their underground refuge but also threaten Gaza’s water supply, U.S. officials said.
The Israel Defense Forces finished assembling large seawater pumps roughly one mile north of the Al-Shati refugee camp around the middle of last month. Each of at least five pumps can draw water from the Mediterranean Sea and move thousands of cubic meters of water per hour into the tunnels, flooding them within weeks.
Sentiment inside the U.S. was mixed. Some U.S. officials privately expressed concern about the plan, while other officials said the U.S. supports the disabling of the tunnels and said there wasn’t necessarily any U.S. opposition to the plan. The Israelis have identified about 800 tunnels so far, though they acknowledge the network is bigger than that.

Biden should stop funding Isreal. It is a genocide.
@NeedySalami6mos6MO
As long as all the hostages aren’t there
@C1v1cOcelot6mos6MO
The IDF doesnt care about hostages.
@9HF6FP66mos6MO
I feel like it should be talked about more some lives are in danger and lives that are being killed for no reason and its disgusting and unreal
@Mandat3Owl6mos6MO
Israel should seal up every single entry point to the tunnels before they flood them with seawater.
@WorriedCabinet6mos6MO
That ought to do the trick
I feel that they shouldn't flood Gaza's tunnels with sea water
@9HFH5YP6mos6MO
Just that they are trying to flush out the terrorists literally
I think its important to be aware of what’s going on in other places around the world
