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
I’ve heard about it, the tunnels are so large it’s going to take weeks to fill them if they try, and even then only if the tunnels are completely dense and solid, otherwise the water will leak into the ground and destroy some of their fresh groundwater.
Why, what did you hear because you said it all hyperbolic and provocative like…
Yeah the “let’s drown the tunnels” plan seems like an idea that would have been discarded ages ago. The IDF has an entire unit that does the tunnel warfare and this obvious idea is not on their strategy list so it’s most likely stupid.
Some guy in the israeli government probably thought he was really smart but it’s one of the first things that anyone in tunnel warfare would have thought of.
