[Jpost] Forces of Division 162, along with the Nahal Brigade's combat team and engineering forces, unearthed an underground tunnel network that connects the north and south of the Gaza Strip, the military announced on Monday.
The underground routes run for some 10 km and pass under a hospital and a university.
After gaining operational control of the network, IDF soldiers examined it and destroyed large portions of it.
The underground routes connected the Turkish hospital bordering the camps in the center of the Strip to the Israa University building in the south of Gaza City, reaching as far as the area of Zeitoun. |
