UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres issued a rare letter to the Security Council over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, urging the group to pursue an immediate cease-fire.
"According to open sources, the IDF has already built a system of pumps and pipes to pump seawater and is currently discussing with the United States practical aspects of such flooding: whether there will be enough water or if the tunnels’ ‘topography’ is fit for that and so on. Such a step, if made, will constitute a blatant war crime," Polyansky argued. Peter Aitken is a Fox News Digital reporter with a focus on national and global news.
The Wall Street Journal earlier this week reported that the Israel Defense Forces have constructed five large seawater pumps about one mile north of the Al-Shati refugee camp, with each pump capable of moving thousands of cubic meters of water per hour from the Mediterranean Sea into the Hamas tunnels.
