Israel's IDF flushes Hamas's tunnels with sea water -- and sends terrorists scurrying out like rats

  Monica Showalter - American Thinker 

All in all, it's a marvel of human ingenuity and despite all of Israel's internal problems and squabbles and wokesterism, they're still the same old Israelis of legend -- the clever, resourceful, unbeatable Israelis no terrorist should ever mess with, takin' care of business.

"Hear that flushing noise?

"Amid all the screeching of the anti-Semitic global elites, the haze of pro-Hamas global protests, and the Biden administration's efforts to micromanage how Israel conducts its war against avowed terrorists, Israel's Defense Forces have been quietly takin' care of business.

"AT's editor, Andrea Widburg has written about the mass surrenders which is happy news indeed, here.

"But how they did it is fascinating.

"Quoting US officials, the Wall Street Journal reported that the Israel Defense Forces last month set up five large water pumps near the al-Shati refugee camp in Gaza City, which are capable of flooding the tunnels within weeks by pumping thousands of cubic meters of water per hour into them.

"The officials said Israel alerted the US about the plan last month, but has not yet decided on whether to implement it.

"The report noted it was unclear whether the IDF would move to flood the tunnels before all of the hostages that Hamas and other Palestinian terror groups abducted during the October 7 onslaught in southern Israel were freed, due to the apparent risk that would be posed to hostages being held underground." . . .
