The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has revealed a letter written by Ibrahim, the 10-year-old son of slain Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, expressing a desire to fight against Israelis. The letter, discovered by IDF forces in the Gaza Strip in 2024, was written early in the current war.
In the letter addressed to his father, Ibrahim conveys deep longing for Sinwar and a wish to be reunited. Alongside personal sentiments, the boy articulates a desire to participate in combat against Jews. "My beloved father, I miss you so much! I want to hug you and see you victorious, and I want to declare 'Allahu Akbar,' to hold a Kalashnikov and shoot Jews," Ibrahim wrote.
The letter also details Ibrahim's activities during his father's absence, stating, "When will you come to sleep hugging me? I am constantly making guns, tanks, and Kalashnikovs out of paper and cardboard." Accompanying the letter were drawings by the child depicting weapons, tanks near the Gaza-Israel border fence, and missiles aimed at Israeli territory.
Despite the violent expressions, the letter also includes a prayer for the war's end and his father's well-being. "My Lord, I wish the war would end, and that I see you well. May Allah protect you, father. I want you to pray for me. Peace be upon you, and the mercy and blessings of Allah," Ibrahim wrote.
The IDF stated that the letter and drawings illustrate the influence of Hamas ideology on the education of children in Gaza and how messages of hate and violence are reflected even within the family of the eliminated terror organization's leader.
