Israel is looking into flooding Hamas’ tunnel system before starting its ground operation in the Gaza Strip, US investigative journalist Seymour Hersh said, citing sources
Hersh said Israel is in the process of turning Gaza City into rubble, via constant bombing, and is also planning to begin the ground invasion soon.
Flooding the tunnels could mean that Israel was ready to "write off the hostages still in jeopardy," Hersh said.

💬 'Whatever the truth, the Israeli public is rattled as never before with questions about the ability of the Israeli government to protect its citizenry. In return, they are subjected to braying and bellicosity by their prime minister who, unlike his senior generals and the head of Shin Bet, the Israeli internal security agency, has refused so far to publicly take responsibility for the military and intelligence failures on October 7. A recent public opinion poll in Israel showed that Netanyahu has the support of 29 percent of his country,' Seymour Hersh added

🗣 Palestinian Health Minister Mai al-Kaila to Sputnik Arabic:
💬 'The healthcare system has completely collapsed, the Gaza Strip has run out of medicines for cancer, diabetes and kidney failure, and there is an acute shortage of medical supplies. Fuel is urgently needed to restore the functioning of essential medical facilities. The humanitarian aid received is a drop in the bucket; safe corridors must be ensured for its delivery.'
The head of the department also spoke of the huge number of wounded who are forced to wait their turn at the doors of hospitals and in the corridors. She also pointed out that victims receive burns that indicate the use of weapons prohibited by international conventions. All these cases are being documented for later presentation to the competent international authorities.
