TL;DR Summary

Israel is reportedly considering a plan to flood Hamas tunnels in Gaza using seawater pumps. The tunnel system is used by Hamas to transport weapons and militants. The flooding could force militants out into the open, but experts warn that it may pollute Gaza's already scarce water supply and damage the surrounding environment. The effectiveness of the plan is uncertain, as the details of the tunnel system and its permeability are not fully known. It remains unclear whether Israel will proceed with the plan.
