Valin Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 The Washington Examiner Mike Brest January 31, 2024 The Israeli military publicly acknowledged it has started pumping water into parts of the vast network of tunnels beneath Gaza used by Hamas. Israeli forces have “implemented new capabilities to neutralize underground terrorist infrastructure in the Gaza Strip by channeling large volumes of water into the tunnels,” the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement on Tuesday, their first public acknowledgment of the controversial practice. Despite Hamas’s use of the tunnels to move freely, store weapons, launch attacks targeting Israel, and keep the hostages, flooding them could have environmental impacts long after the war ends. *“Israel’s flooding of tunnels with saltwater could have severe adverse human rights impacts, some long term,” the U.N. Human Rights Office said in December. **[“Goods indispensable to civilian survival could also be at risk, as well as widespread, long-term & severe environmental damage. Civilians must be protected.” (Snip) _____________________________________________________________ * So is letting Hamas Live. ** You don't suppose EVERYONE in the Gaza Strip know Exactly What Hamas was doing and Why?
