The purpose isn't to salt the earth but to destroy the 300-mile Hamas tunnel network, used for war crimes including kidnapping and bombing civilians. This is a focal point in the war against Hamas. In 2015, Egypt also pumped seawater into tunnels between Sinai & Gaza. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2023/12/05/israel-considers-plan-flood-hamas-tunnels-seawater/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/11/03/gaza-tunnels-hamas-israel-war/ https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2015/9/18/egypt-floods-gaza-tunnels-used-for-smuggling
