The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on Tuesday released a letter written by Ibrahim Sinwar, the 10-year-old son of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, at the beginning of the war. The document, recovered by IDF soldiers during operations in the Gaza Strip in 2024, was published to mark two years since Sinwar's assassination. In the letter addressed to his father, the boy expresses deep longing, asking, "When will you come sleep with me embraced?". Alongside these familial sentiments, Ibrahim describes his daily activities, stating he prepares "pistols, tanks, and Kalashnikovs made of paper and cardboard." He further declares his aspiration to "declare 'Allahu Akbar', grab a Kalashnikov, and shoot Jews."
The letter includes drawings by the child depicting firearms, tanks near the border fence, and rocket launches toward Israeli territory. The IDF stated that the document and accompanying illustrations demonstrate how Sinwar's murderous ideology has permeated his own household, revealing the depth to which Hamas's values of violence and hatred are instilled in Gaza's younger generation.
