Desperate’Israel’ begins pumping seawater into Gaza’s soil to ‘flood tunnels’

The Israeli occupation army began pumping salty seawater into Gaza’s soil, in what “Israel” claims aims at flooding Resistance tunnel networks under the Strip, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on Tuesday citing US officials.

The newspaper added that the whole process would take several weeks to complete without specifying clear indicators of its success.

However, on the Israeli side, as that of their allies, concerns arose regarding the nature of this operation. Over the course of the war on Gaza, “Israel” claimed that the captives were being held by the Resistance in tunnels under the Strip. Meanwhile, such a measure, if successful per Israeli objectives, would almost certainly lead to the death of captives placed in the targeted networks.

But the real catastrophe remains in the after-effect of such an aggression. International environmental and human rights organizations warned that this move, which would see the pumping and dumping of tens of millions of seawater into Gaza’s soil will have long-term devastating consequences on both agricultural lands and drinking water in the besieged Strip with a 2.2 million population, and would probably make most targeted lands uninhabitable.
