A report in the Wall Street Journal: Israel is trying to flood the Hamas tunnel network with seawater and thus destroy it

According to the report, Israel built a system of 5 large pumps, north of the Shatti refugee camp, with which it can transfer thousands of cubic meters of water per hour into the tunnels, and flood them within a few weeks. According to American officials, Israel notified the US at the beginning of November about the project, and completed its construction in mid-November. American officials told the newspaper that they do not know how close Israel is to completing the program and whether it has finally decided in favor of using it.
According to them, it is not clear how successful the plan will be since no one knows all the details of the tunnels and the land around them, and how the sea water will drain through the tunnels. They also added that there are American officials who expressed concern about the program.

The IDF refused to comment on the newspaper's inquiry regarding the project, but stated that they are working with a variety of methods to dismantle Hamas' capabilities. (Doron Kadush)
