The Israeli military has begun pumping
seawater into Hamas’ tunnel complex in Gaza, the Wall Street Journal reported citing
unnamed US officials, adding that the process would likely take weeks.
Some Biden administration officials have
said the process could help destroy the tunnels, where Israel believes the
Hamas group is hiding hostages, fighters and munitions, the Journal reported.
Other officials have expressed concerns
the seawater would endanger Gaza’s fresh water supply, the newspaper reported.
Israel’s military did not immediately
provide comment on the report. An Israeli defense ministry spokesperson did not
immediately respond to a request for comment.
