The IDF has officially decided to flood the tunnels in Gaza. It will start doing so gradually so that it can control any side effects and so Hamas can remove hostages from there in time before they collapse. pic.twitter.com/hkzqiiPEGN

***Original Post***
Israel has resumed military operations in Gaza after Hamas violated the terms of the brief but tenuous ceasefire that was heavily based on the release of the 200 or so Israelis who were kidnapped on October 7. Scores were released by the terrorists, but continued to attack Israeli forces. Rocket attacks also continued, but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahuâs government somewhat tolerated the violations in the ceasefire to ensure as many Israelis held in captivity could be released. Israel would, in turn, release some 150 Palestinians imprisoned on terror charges. We all knew this deal would break down, and it did on December 1. Now, the IDF is back to mopping up terrorist holdouts and mulling over what to do about the intricate terror tunnels that spread throughout the strip.
Multiple entry points have been discovered, and Israel knows some of these tunnels are hundreds of feet below the surface, hence why Hamas is using the fuel stores to power generators that feed their terrorist forces hiding below with oxygen. Israel has the manpower and technology to wipe out everyone, but itâll take time. However, the latter predicament is one Israeli society is willing to tolerate to ensure the safety of their country. Israel has already said it will remain in the Gaza Strip long after their war with Hamas is over. Still, what to do about the terrorists still hiding in the tunnels remains an issue…
