from Sputnik News:
Because some of the tunnels underneath Gaza City are dozens of meters deep, Israel may not have the specialized weapons to destroy them, making flooding the city a potentially cheaper option, a former Israeli commander told Sputnik. With parts of the city potentially below sea-level, a channel from the sea could turn Gaza into a lake.

According to the latest report by investigative journalist Seymour Hersh, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are considering flooding Gaza City to destroy the network of Hamas tunnels dug underneath the city.
“A well-informed American official told me that the Israeli leadership is known to be considering flooding Hamas’s vast tunnel system before sending in its troops, many of whom have had only a few weeks of training in the maneuvers and coordination required for the invasion,” Hersh wrote. He noted that doing so means “writing off” the possibility of securing the return of some 200 Israeli hostages still in Hamas custody.
Israel has been pounding the Gaza Strip for more than two weeks, ever since Hamas militants broke through the Gaza border fence and massacred several Israeli villages near the border, killing more than 1,300 people. However, the IDF response has far outpaced the death toll in Israel, with nearly 6,000 dead and another 1,000 missing in the rubble across the Gaza Strip.
