The terror organization used more than 6,000 tons of concrete and 1,800 tons of metal to build the hundreds of miles of subterranean infrastructure.

The tunnel network was apparently used by the senior officials of Hamas’ military and political wings.

The operation revealed that the shafts are connected by a wide underground network passing under the hospital, spanning several kilometers, and leading to strategic points in the heart of Gaza City.

The multi-level structure served as an underground post with floors used for storage, hideouts, command and control, and movement of operatives.

This tunnel network was used by the organization's senior officials, Ismail Haniyeh, Yahya Sinwar, Muhammad Deif, and others, to direct Hamas' operational activity.

The tunnel is about four kilometers long (2.5 miles) and about 50 meters (164 feet) deep, and it is so big that it can accommodate the movement of vehicles.

“If the tunnels collapse, hospitals, mosques, universities, or factories will collapse with them,” warns the Israeli military.

A Hamas terrorist was indicted after he was caught infiltrating into Israel. He gave detailed info on Gaza's tunnel network.
