This is the best summary I could come up with:

The Israeli army has published video footage that it says shows the first solid evidence of a sophisticated Hamas tunnel network underneath Gaza City’s Dar al-Shifa hospital complex.

In a statement on Sunday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said troops operating near the in-patients building at al-Shifa found a booby-trapped pickup truck in a garage inside the medical complex’s walls.

The tunnel contains electricity wires and slopes downwards until it ends at a blast-proof door, with a small slot through which to fire weapons.

Israeli forces first entered the large al-Shifa complex five days ago, alleging that the militant group Hamas used it as a command centre and identifying it as a key target despite international outcry.

As Israeli forces drew closer to the hospital this week, at least 40 people including eight premature babies died because of a lack of electricity to operate life-saving equipment such as incubators and dialysis machines, the UN said.

The desperate struggle to keep the remaining 300 or so vulnerable patients at al-Shifa alive as the UN attempts to evacuate them southwards comes as Israel has said it is expanding its operations to destroy Hamas to areas south of Gaza City, raising fears for the hundreds of thousands of civilians who have sought refuge there after being told by the IDF that it would be safer.

The original article contains 398 words, the summary contains 222 words. Saved 44%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
