Army spokesperson says first attempt to pump seawater into Hamas terror tunnels is a success. By World Israel News StaffA test run of Israel’s plan to flood terror tunnels in the Gaza Strip with seawater has proven to be a success, an IDF spokesperson said Thursday. Osama Hamdan, a member of the terror group, said Hamas’ tunnels could withstand flooding. IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari told reporters Thursday that the efforts to destroy Gaza terror tunnels have taken into account the locations of Israeli captives still being held in the coastal enclave. On Tuesday, President Joe Biden noted Israeli claims that the flooding of Hamas terror tunnels was carefully avoiding those tunnels where hostages are being kept, but said he could not confirm if the tunnels being targeted are in fact free of hostages.
