Israel Begins Pumping Seawater into Hamas' Gaza Tunnels
(Wall Street Journal) Nancy A. Youssef - Israel's military has begun to pump seawater into Hamas' vast complex of tunnels in Gaza, according to U.S. officials briefed on the Israeli military's operations, part of an intensive effort to destroy the group's underground infrastructure. Flooding the tunnels, which would likely be a weekslong process, began around the time Israel added two more pumps to the five pumps installed last month and conducted some initial tests, U.S. officials said. Egypt in 2015 used seawater to flood tunnels operated by smugglers under the Rafah border crossing with Gaza.
