Israeli soldiers prepare to storm Hamas tunnels beneath Gaza to fight through a booby-trapped labyrinth longer than the London Underground

As the battle intensifies around the al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City — and the grim tally of dead civilians continues to rise — the men and women of the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) are determined to root out their enemy.

Beneath the sprawling complex, insists Israeli intelligence, lies a headquarters for Hamas, a nexus for the vast network of tunnels that spans all of Gaza.

And it is somewhere in this subterranean world that hundreds of Israeli hostages have been held by their terrorist captors for 40 days and nights.

Indeed, the network is estimated to run to a total of 300 miles and is so extensive it has been described as a 'metro system' that is bigger than the London Underground.

The 85-year-old Israeli hostage Yocheved Lifshitz, who was released last month, revealed that Hamas had hidden her and other hostages in a tunnel system that 'looked like a spider's web'.
