Israel's Seawater Infiltration Targets Hamas' Gaza Tunnel Network

Israel has reportedly begun pumping seawater into Hamas' extensive tunnel system beneath the Gaza Strip as part of an operation to flush out terrorists. The flooding tactic, which is expected to take weeks, involves pumping seawater from the Mediterranean Sea into the tunnels. The exact number of hostages in the tunnels is unknown. Concerns have been raised about potential environmental damage caused by pumping seawater. Israel has identified around 800 tunnels used by Hamas for various purposes, but believes the network is even larger.
