"Israeli Military Floods Hamas Tunnels to Destroy Underground Network"

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. Despite the military's efforts to select tunnels for flooding based on soil characteristics and water systems, the project, codenamed Atlantis, has had limited success, with seepage into the surrounding soil rather than a significant deluge through the passageways.

Concerns have been raised about the safety of hostages held in the tunnels. The operation is expected to last several weeks, and the effectiveness of the flooding is being evaluated. Some Biden administration officials are worried about the impact on Gaza's freshwater supply.
