TL;DR Summary

The Israeli military has confirmed that it is flooding the vast network of tunnels beneath Gaza, which Hamas has used for attacks, weapons storage, and holding Israeli hostages. This controversial tactic, aimed at neutralizing the underground infrastructure, has raised concerns about potential damage to Gaza's drinking water and sewage systems.
