The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has released a letter and drawings penned by Ibrahim, the son of former Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. The publication coincides with the second anniversary of Sinwar's elimination. The materials were discovered by Israeli soldiers in the Gaza Strip in 2024. The letter, addressed to his father, was written when Ibrahim was 10 years old at the start of the war. In it, the boy expresses longing for his father and describes his activities, including making toy weapons from paper and cardboard. He also states a desire to take up arms and shoot Jews. The accompanying drawings depict military equipment near the Gaza-Israel border fence and rockets being launched toward Israel. The letter reads in part, "Beloved father, I miss you very much! I want to hug you and see you victorious, and I want to exclaim: 'Allah is great,' take a Kalashnikov rifle and shoot Jews." He also asks when his father will return and embrace him, and expresses a wish for the war to end and for his father to be healthy. The IDF also shared related news items, including the elimination of Hamas and Islamic Jihad commanders in Gaza, and the apprehension of arms smugglers and dealers in the West Bank.
