Flooding a network of tunnels used by Hamas with seawater will have “devastating consequences” on the environment and the water aquifer in the enclave, Tamer Qarmout of the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies has said.
The Wall Street Journal and ABC News, citing anonymous US officials, reported that flooding had begun to flush out Hamas fighters and the process could take weeks.
“Historically, since the creation of Israel, Gaza used to have a key river called the Gaza Valley River, which crossed through Gaza. Israel cut the flow of this river and deprived Gaza of a major source of drinking water,” he told Al Jazeera.
“With Gaza being a very small area with 2.3 million people, the water has been over-exploited. The quality of drinking water is really bad, and salinity is a real issue.”
