The network of tunnels consisted of multiple branches and rooms, inside of which the troops found stored weapons and means for long-term stay used by Hamas terrorists.

A three-kilometer tunnel network was identified and dismantled by the IDF, the military announced on Friday.

Over July and August, combat teams of the 252nd Division have investigated and located multiple underground tunnel routes while eliminating hundreds of terrorists and dismantling terrorist infrastructure in central Gaza.
