Gaza's Dark Blueprint: Unveiling Hamas' Chilling October 7 Strategy
The Sinwar Memo: A Blueprint for Terror
In May, Israeli forces uncovered a chilling document in Gaza. This memo, penned by Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in 2022, outlined the terror group's brutal plans for the October 7 attacks. The memo was found in an underground complex used by Sinwar's brother and successor, Muhammad Sinwar, who was also killed in a tunnel at the European Hospital.
A Horrific Plan Unveiled
The memo detailed a horrific plan. It instructed Hamas fighters to target both soldiers and civilians. The goal was to spread fear and destabilize Israel. The memo even ordered fighters to burn down entire neighborhoods. This was not just about causing destruction. It was about spreading terror.
The Attacks: A Nightmare Realized
During the attacks, Hamas fighters followed these orders. They set homes on fire, trapping and killing residents. They also took hostages, with many still held in Gaza. The memo's chilling instructions were echoed by Hamas commanders during the attacks. They ordered fighters to kill indiscriminately and take as many hostages as possible.
Broadcasting the Horror
The memo also emphasized the importance of broadcasting the attacks. It urged fighters to film their actions and share them widely. This was not just about documenting the attacks. It was about inspiring others to join the fight. The memo's instructions were clear: film the horror and share it with the world.
The Aftermath: A Stark Reminder
The October 7 attacks resulted in the deaths of 1,200 people in southern Israel. Hamas also abducted 251 people, with 48 still held in Gaza. The attacks were a stark reminder of the brutality of Hamas and their disregard for human life.
