Letters written by Ibrahim Sinwar, the 10-year-old son of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, have been revealed by the British newspaper The Telegraph. The documents were discovered in a building in Rafah, where his father was reportedly eliminated, and their contents were subsequently provided to the newspaper. According to the report, IDF forces located the documents in October 2024.
The letters began with warm greetings and expressions of longing from a son to his father. However, the tone shifted, with Ibrahim drawing tanks with Hebrew inscriptions, armed fighters, rockets, and military installations. In one letter, he wrote, "I miss you so much... I wish I were older and could hold a Kalashnikov and shoot Jews." He also mentioned creating pistols, tanks, and rifles from cardboard and paper, and expressed a desire for the war to end and to reunite with his father.
Two experts who examined the materials stated that they appear authentic. Intelligence assessments and reports suggest that Ibrahim, now 12 years old, managed to escape the Gaza Strip with his mother, Summer Muhammad Abu Zammar. Footage showed her crossing a Hamas tunnel with a designer bag shortly before the October 7th attack. Later, she reportedly used a forged passport to cross the Rafah border into Egypt, and then proceeded with her children to Turkey, where she remarried.
Ahmed Mansour, an expert on Islam, told The Telegraph that the findings align with educational patterns in parts of Palestinian society, particularly in Gaza, where hatred and violence towards Jews are normalized to the extent that young children dream of such acts. Security officials and international organizations warn about the future of young people in the Strip, citing pre-war youth unemployment at nearly 60%, a situation that has drastically worsened. UNICEF data indicates that nearly 700,000 children have missed almost three years of regular schooling, with about 98% of educational institutions damaged. Recent research highlights growing economic hardship and pressure to join the informal sector among Gaza's teenagers, leaving them without prospects for normal education or a stable future.
