Israel\u2019s military has started pumping seawater into Hamas\u2019 extensive tunnel system underneath the Gaza Strip as part of an effort to drive terrorists out of their hiding places, a report says.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The tactic is unfolding Wednesday in its early stages, U.S. officials briefed on Israel\u2019s military operations told The Wall Street Journal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They said flooding the tunnels would likely be a weekslong process and Israel began pumping seawater from the Mediterranean after carrying out some testing and installing an additional two pumps alongside the five that were set up near the coastal Al-Shati refugee camp in Gaza City last month.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It\u2019s unclear how many of Hamas\u2019 hostages may be in the tunnel network underneath Gaza.\u00a0<\/p>\n
