Polyansky: Israel will commit a war crime if it floods tunnels in Gaza
Dmitry Polyansky, First Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the United Nations (UN), said that Israel would commit a war crime if it decided to flood the tunnels in Gaza. This is reported by TASS.
According to him, "war crimes are on the rise," and in recent days information has been disseminated about the Israeli side's plans to flood underground structures in Gaza with seawater.
Polyansky stressed that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has already built a system of pipes and sediments to pump water into the tunnels.
"Such a step, if taken, would be an obvious war crime," the permanent representative believes.
Prior to that, it became known that the Israeli authorities are considering the possibility of flooding the system of underground tunnels, in which, according to the Israeli military, fighters of the Palestinian Hamas movement are hiding, with seawater.
According to the WSJ, the Israeli authorities have not yet made a final decision on such a step, and opinions in the administration of US President Joe Biden, which Israel informed about such a possibility, are also divided.
Earlier, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu promised to destroy Hamas.
