Israel begins pumping seawater into Hamas' tunnels in Gaza: Report
The Israeli military has begun pumping seawater into Hamas' tunnel complex in Gaza, the Wall Street Journal and ABC News reported on Tuesday, citing unnamed U.S. officials. The Journal reported the process would likely take weeks. ABC News reported that the flooding appears to be limited as Israel evaluates the strategy's effectiveness. Some Biden administration officials have said the process could help destroy the tunnels, where Israel believes the militant group is hiding hostages, fighters and munitions, the Journal reported.
