The IDF's goal is to destroy the lair of terrorists.
Israel is preparing for Operation Atlantis. It assumes the flooding of tunnels under the Gaza Strip.
About this “BILD in Russian”.
Details
The publication notes that since 2007, Hamas has created more than 800 tunnels in the enclave, where ammunition is stored for attacks on Israel. The militants of the terrorist group themselves are hiding there.
This is why the Israeli military should destroy these facilities. The IDF has assembled a system of large pumps to flood Hamas terrorists' vast network of tunnels with seawater, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reports. It is noted that Israel has never carried out floods of this type before.
“Special pumps must pump thousands of cubic meters of water and direct it into the tunnel – according to BILD, the Israel Defense Forces project is called “Atlantis”,” journalists write.
However, the final decision on the operation has not been made. The potential timing of its implementation by Israel is also unknown. The fact is that there is a risk of innocent victims – the tunnels may contain Israeli hostages kidnapped during the terrorist attack on October 7.
Israel previously revealed how many of its troops died during the operation against Hamas
