The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on Thursday released a letter written by the 10-year-old son of Yahya Sinwar, the Hamas leader who was killed two years ago. The document, discovered by IDF forces in the Gaza Strip in 2024, was addressed to his father.
In the letter, Ibrahim expresses his longing for his father, stating, "I miss you very much! I want to hug you and see you victorious." He also describes how he spends his free time "making guns, tanks, and Kalashnikovs out of paper and cardboard." The boy then declares his desire to "hold a Kalashnikov and shoot Jews."
Ibrahim concludes the letter by wishing for the war to end so he can see his father well, asking for prayers, and sending peace greetings. The letter is accompanied by drawings made by Ibrahim, depicting weapons, tanks near the Gaza border fence, and missiles aimed at Israel.
The IDF stated that the letter and drawings illustrate how Sinwar's "murderous ideology is reflected in the education of his children" and reveal the influence of Hamas's values of hatred and violence on Gaza's youth.
