The cruel plan begins, the moment the Israeli army floods the Hamas tunnels with seawater

The Israeli army has put into operation the cruel plan to flood the tunnels in the Gaza Strip with sea water.

The IDF completed the installation of at least five pumps about a mile north of the Al-Sati refugee camp, capable of delivering thousands of cubic meters of water per hour.

Seawater is being pumped through them into the tunnels with the aim of flooding them completely within a few weeks.

A new video shows an underground tunnel flooding as a Hamas terrorist captured footage showing water flowing over it.

Israel's brutal plan to wipe out Hamas has also been communicated to US officials, but raises questions about its effectiveness and potential environmental impact.

Drawing a parallel to Egypt's similar effort in 2015, concerns have been raised about water pollution, infrastructure damage and health risks, prompting reservations about the IDF move. (A2 Televizion)
