ISRAELI warplanes destroyed a major Hamas research unit and extensive network of terror tunnels, the Daily Mirror can reveal.

More than 20 Hamas senior and middle-ranking commanders were also killed in Israel’s blitz, dubbed Operation Guardian of the Walls.

The Hamas Research and Development unit was hunted for years by Israel as it tried to develop new weapons, drones, rockets and cyber technology.

A source, a security official involved in the latest 11-day campaign, said the research was set back years by the airstrikes.
