The war between Israel and Hamas has now taken a new turn.
On one hand, the ceasefire resolution in Gaza was passed with an overwhelming majority in the UN meeting on Tuesday. While America has opposed this proposal, India has voted in support of it.
Israel is facing criticism from countries around the world over the massacre in Gaza, but it does not seem to have any effect on it.
A report has come out that the Israeli army IDF has made a new move to eliminate Hamas. It has started pouring salt water from the sea on Hamas’ tunnels in Gaza. There is a suspicion that Hamas has hidden hostages, fighters and its weapons here.
Israeli forces have begun pouring seawater into a Hamas tunnel complex in Gaza, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing unnamed US officials, saying the process would take several weeks.
This step of Israel is being criticized all over the world because it can deepen the problem of clean and drinking water in Gaza. On the other hand, it is believed that this new step of the Israeli Army is to give a new blow to Hamas.
Israel wants the release of its hostages because during the short ceasefire, only about 100 of its people were able to escape from the clutches of Hamas, while hundreds of people are still kept captive by Hamas.
According to the Journal report, some Biden administration officials have said that this process could help in destroying the tunnels, where Israel has been claiming that Hamas is hiding hostages, fighters and weapons in these tunnels. Other officials have expressed concern that seawater would threaten Gaza’s fresh water supply, the newspaper reports.
At the same time, the Israeli army did not immediately comment on the report.

At the same time, 23 countries abstained from voting while 10 countries voted in opposition. Israel and America were among those who protested.
