Freed Israeli hostages erupted in anger during a tense meeting on Tuesday with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying that they were terrified they would be killed by Israeli airstrikes on Gaza instead of their Hamas captors.
“We were in tunnels, terrified that it would not be Hamas, but Israel, that would kill us, and then they would say Hamas killed you,” the woman from the southern Israeli village of Nir Oz near the Gaza border said
The plan isn’t to create a rapid flood but rather to gradually render the tunnels unusable.
I’m sure they’ll exercise caution in this endeavor /s
There are no pumps in existence that can flash flood miles of tunnels in minutes.
that’s fair
IDF says they have like 3-4 pumps that can fill an Olympic swimming pool in 7 minutes. While impressive, 7 mins is a long time to exit a pool.
Which may be even worse?
Since hamas is going to prioritize leadership, personnel, and equipment/materials in that order. If they get all their spare ammo and AKs out then MAYBE they’ll go back for the hostages.
At least a rapid flooding would kill hamas terrorists too.
