The IDF reveals it has uncovered a major Hamas tunnel network in central and northern Gaza, which it says passes under a hospital and university.

Troops of the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit, Nahal Infantry Brigade, and other forces under the 162nd Division recently raided the underground passages, before they were demolished.

The IDF says the tunnel network, more than 10 kilometers long, passes under Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital and a nearby university, and reaches as far as the Zeitoun neighborhood of Gaza City.

According to the IDF, the tunnel was used by both Hamas's Gaza City and Central Camps brigades, to move operatives between the areas.

The IDF says it discovered living quarters, bathrooms, and weapons depots in the tunnels, as well as the bodies of several Hamas operatives.

Major sections of the tunnel network were destroyed in a large blast.
