The Israeli military has been using a tunnel system in the Gaza Strip as a target for flooding with seawater, a tactic first observed in Germany during World War II. This controversial practice has raised concerns at the UN Security Council about the impact on the civilian population. Despite the flooding, Hamas has continued its militant activities, leading to calls for a ceasefire in the region. The Israeli military action is part of a wider conflict that has seen a series of extreme weather events in the Middle East, including record-breaking flooding.
