Fighting continued unabated in Gaza on Saturday, December 30th. The Israeli priority remains the destruction of the hundreds of kilometers of tunnels in which Hamas men operate.
Spectacular explosions in Gaza City. One of Hamas's strategic tunnels disappeared in a cloud of dust. The images were provided by the Israeli army. IDF soldiers are filmed 20 meters underground pulling cables and planting explosives. According to the Israelis, the Hamas headquarters was located on the line. 70% of the tunnels in the north of the enclave would be destroyed. However, there would still be many left in the south.
Flood the tunnels?
“It is likely that Hamas has prepared several other complex structures like this, containing everything the commanders need: ventilation, a sewage system and even showers,” analyzes Harel Chorée, a researcher at the Moshe Dayan Center. State-of-the-art drones, robots, dogs and presence sensors are used to locate and traverse the tunnels. Another option would be to flood them with seawater. Israel does not communicate officially on the issue, but pumps have been installed on Gaza's beaches.
