The IDF is planning to pump seawater into the Hamas tunnel network in Gaza according to a Wall Street Journal report.
Five large pumps have been assembled north of the al-Shati refugee camp during the last month, with each one capable of pumping thousands of cubic meters of seawater into the tunnels. Israel informed US officials that they were considering this option last month and needed to weigh feasibility and environmental factors against military necessity. Some US officials expressed concern about the plan while others supported the plan.

Inbreds do have issues 🤣🤣🤣
Unfortunately, there is no question that if Israel goes ahead with a plan to flood the tunnels, Hamas, with no regard for the conventions of war, will announce that they are strategically placing the hostages in the tunnels, if they have not done so already. The IDF is fighting the filth of the planet,
A cave is a grave.
“Some US officials expressed concern about the plan while others supported it.” Name them! You leftist piece of excrement.
From the river to the sea,
Every Hamas death brings us glee !
There are thousands of Japanese still on Iwo Jima entombed in their tunnels forever. War is hell, get it over with. Win.
Assume they are dead by now.
Eternal war is what we’re looking at.
It will be rather difficult for any govt to pressure Israel into “negotiating,”
since Israel has munitions and weaponry to destroy Hamas entirely on their own.
There’s Biden’s 2023 arms handout to Israel:
<><>57,000 155mm artillery shells
<><>more than 5,000 Mk82 unguided or “dumb” bombs,
<><>more than 5,400 Mk84 2,000 pound warhead bombs,
<><>around 1,000 GBU-39 small diameter bombs,
<><>approximately 3,000 JDAMs, which turn unguided bombs into guided “smart” bombs,
<><>BLU-109 bunker busters w/ 2,000 pound warheads designed to penetrate concrete shelters.
There’s Obama’s $38 billion deal that covers fiscal years 2019-2028 that includes:
<><>-annual US payments to Israel of $3.3 billion in “military financing,”
<><>-$500 million a year for Israel’s missile defense operations in the Negev, a foreign aid first,
<><>-A phasing-out of Israel’s decades-long “special arrangement”
<><>ie. Israel used 26.3% of US aid on its own global defense industry (not on US-made weapons).
<><>-Eliminates Israel using some 13% of US aid to buy military fuel.
<><>-will allow Israel to update “the lion’s share” of its fighter aircraft,
<><>includes purchasing additional F-35 Joint Strike Fighters.
<><>Israel is to initially receive thirty-three F-35 aircraft,
<><>the first two F-35’s will be delivered in December.
The (a) weaponry build-up from Obama 2018 into 2028, (b) follows the $30 billion weaponry deal Israel signed in 2007, which expires at the end of fiscal 2018, and (c) a systematic buildup of Israeli arms, like this one in 2015.

Finally the government is spending money wisely
Don’t say, just do.
They might be warehousing hostages in there. Other than that, surf’s up!
After the 1948 Israel war for Independence, many Jews were forced out of Arab nations. Or left because they were sick and tired of living under Muslim rulers. Roughly 700,000 Jewish refugees were created. Which is equal to the numbers of Arab/Palestinian refugees.
These Jewish refugees never got a dime from UN agencies. Nor did Isreal to settle them. They literally lived in tents for 1-3 years until housing could be built, at Israel’s expense. While Palestinians have gotten billions from the UN - UNWRA over the decades. Most Jewish refugees went to Israel, aka they were Zionists. Others ending up in Europe, America, Canada, Australia.
UNWRA built housing for these 700,000 Muslims. Who lived in tents for a while.
Use of sewage effluent is a particularly useful and creative means of treatment for this tunnel problem.
I was thinking more like sewer water.
At least if that infiltrates wells it is easily treated.
Sewage was directed into tunnels early on because the sewer systems were damaged and leaked into the numerous vertical shafts
Throw a couple dead pigs down the holes first.
On one of the videos by the IDF they pointed out that they had blast doors. Not sure if those are water proof or how many of those they have.
send in the honey wagons
I was thinking of that very scene
