Israel Sets Up Large Water Pumps To Flood Hamas’ Terror Tunnels Under Gaza: Report | Eastern NC Now

    The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has reportedly set up several large water pumps inside Gaza to flood Hamas' underground terror tunnels with water from the Mediterranean Sea.

    The Wall Street Journal reported that the pumps could move "thousands of cubic meters of water per hour into the tunnels" and would completely flood the hundreds of miles of tunnels under Gaza within a matter of weeks.

    Israel has not made a final decision on whether to go forward with flooding the vast underground network, and the reaction from the Biden administration was mixed.

    Using the pumps would force Hamas terrorists, and potentially some of the hostages that they kidnapped and are holding hostage, out of the tunnels.

    "We are not sure how successful pumping will be since nobody knows the details of the tunnels and the ground around them," a person familiar with the plan reportedly said. "It's impossible to know if that will be effective because we don't know how seawater will drain in tunnels no one has been in before."

    Israel said that it was committed to completely dismantling the tunnel network through "various ways," one of which has included using "sponge bombs."

    Jon Alterman, senior vice president at the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies, said it's hard to predict how flooding the tunnels would impact things above ground, including the stability of buildings.

    "It's hard to tell what pumping seawater will do to the existing water and sewage infrastructure," he said. "It is hard to tell what it will do to groundwater reserves. And it's hard to tell the impact on the stability of nearby buildings."

26 days after the October 7th Terror attacks on Israel, where over 1400 Jewish men, women and children were gruesomely murdered, and hundreds more made hostage: Should the Biden /Harris administration finally state that the administration's primary Middle East negotiating partner, Iran, is behind the funding and strategy of the aggressors, the Hamas Terrorists, or continue to take the more moderate position of "Don't," which is clearly not working?

  Yes, name Iran as the funding /strategy culprit, and begin to enforce the President Trump era sanctions to END Iran's ability to prosecute this war against Israel and the United States.

  No, Iran is a valuable partner in the motives of the Biden / Harris administration, and must not be named as the culprit and our enemy.

  I have larger concerns just to survive in this economy.

In the minds of many, since January 20, 2021, the World has become far less safe in every theater of conflict, beginning with the attack of Israel by Iran /Hamas, so the question becomes: What caused this Worldwide calamity of extreme geopolitical dysfunction, and what will correct it?

  Joe Biden is the cause of this frightening Worldwide situation, and it will end when a Republican is elected president.

  This delayed Worldwide dysfunction and constant conflict is all Donald Trump's fault, as it is with everything that occurs going forward, and long before the man ever became the 45th president..

  Joe Biden is the "root cause" of this frightening Worldwide situation, and it will end when former President Donald John Trump is elected president.

  In the imitable words of Alfred E. Newman: "What, me worry?"
