The Israel Defense Forces are now beginning operations to destroy the underground tunnels under the Gaza Strip built by Hamas terrorists, utilizing seawater to flood them, a report from the Wall Street Journal revealed on Tuesday. This goes to show you that Hamas really is a nest of rats and vipers, literally tunneling beneath their enemies and the innocent people of Israel to spring attacks on them and build up a body count. Islamic radicals are twisted into believing they are serving the will of Allah by shedding the blood of “infidels,” also known as “People of the Book,” a reference to Christians and Jews.
The Daily Caller is reporting:
The IDF is carrying out a sweeping counteroffensive in Gaza to eliminate Hamas terrorists, who killed over 1,200 civilians in Israel on Oct. 7. As part of the next phase of the counteroffensive in southern Gaza, the IDF is currently flooding Hamas’ tunnel network with seawater, which spans roughly 300 miles under Gaza and serves as the nerve center for the terrorist group’s operations, unnamed U.S. officials told the WSJ.

The operation involves multiple pumps siphoning water from the Mediterranean Sea and jetting it into different entrance points in the tunnel system, a process that will likely take weeks, the officials told the WSJ. Some U.S. officials have warned that the operation might not work, but others expressed optimism that it could at least partially clear the tunnels.
The IDF is also utilizing different methods to destroy the tunnel system, including airstrikes, drones, dogs, robots and liquid explosives, according to the WSJ. The IDF has been hesitant to send troops directly into the tunnels themselves, as it would prove a challenge to fight in a cramped underground environment potentially rigged with traps.
“The territorial issue is not the issue, the problem is Hamas is going underground,” Amos Yadlin, former Israeli military intelligence chief, stated in comments given to the WSJ.
“The subterranean [theater] continues to be the challenge,” retired Israeli military intelligence colonel Miri Eisin said during his interview with the WSJ.
The report then stated that hundreds of Hamas terrorists have already surrendered to the IDF as Israel continues to get closer and closer to finishing off the strong points of the terrorist group in Gaza. Let’s hope that Israel can dismantle this organization once and for all, preventing such a devastating assault on their people from happening in the future.
It’s unfortunate, but terrorists are brainwashed by the Quran to such a degree that the only language they understand is brute force. They have already made up their minds that to die for Allah is a price worth paying due to what is promised them in the afterlife. How does one negotiate peace with such people? You don’t. Force and violence are the only way to put terrorist groups down and achieve peace. It’s not ideal by any stretch of the imagination, but the truth doesn’t care about fairness. At the end of the day, Israel needs to keep its people safe, and that means decimating Hamas.
