🇮🇱🇵🇸 Apparently, the Israelis decided to fight Hamas tunnels also by pumping water from the Mediterranean Sea there. Pumps in the Gaza Strip were first noticed a couple of weeks ago, but now footage has emerged from the side of Palestinians being washed away by the floods pouring into the underground. How effective are such IDF measures? On the one hand, most of these communications are not huge protected adits, but narrow and low passages for moving infantry, which, in addition, are located at a depth of a maximum of several meters. At the same time, most underground communications in the Gaza Strip do not have any serious bulkheads or complex ventilation and filtration systems typical of production facilities. Therefore, the flooding of part of the enclave’s tunnels may well affect Hamas’s combat capabilities. On the other hand, all this can lead to salinization of the soil and groundwater in the enclave, which will greatly complicate the life of the people remaining there. But needless to say, their lives are the last thing Israelis care about. Especially amid of information about their intention to create a “buffer zone” in the Gaza Strip after the end of hostilities. #Israel #Palestine Источник: Rybar in English
