The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has released a letter and drawings penned by the son of former Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, identified as Ibrahim. 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 by Ibrahim when he was 10 years old at the start of the war. In it, he 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 letter is accompanied by children's drawings depicting military equipment near the Gaza-Israel border fence and rockets being launched toward Israeli territory. The text of 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."

Ibrahim also expresses a wish for the war to end and for his father to return home healthy, asking him to pray for him. The IDF's release of these materials highlights the indoctrination of children within Hamas, even within the family of its former leader.
