Greater Middle East (bbabo.net), - Israel is preparing for Operation Atlantis to flood the tunnels under Gaza. This is reported by the telegram channel “Bild in Russian”.

It is noted that since 2007, Hamas has dug more than 800 tunnels in the enclave, which store ammunition used to attack Israel. In addition, the militants themselves take refuge in the dungeons.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has assembled a system of large pumps to flood Hamas's vast network of tunnels with seawater, an operation Israel has never carried out before, writes the Wall Street Journal (WSJ).

Special pumps will pump thousands of cubic meters of water and direct it into the tunnels - according to Bild, this IDF operation is called "Atlantis".

“It is known that Israel has not yet made a final decision regarding the operation or its timing. The main risk is that there have previously been reports of Israeli hostages being held in such tunnels during the October 7 terrorist attack on the Jewish state,” TK reports.
