The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on Monday revealed an internal Hamas document from April 2024 outlining a plan to plant explosives near camps housing displaced civilians in the Gaza Strip. The document, attributed to Hamas's engineering department, proposed detonating these explosives as IDF forces approached the camps. The stated objective was to create panic among the civilian population, providing cover for Hamas operatives to escape areas where the IDF was expected to operate.
According to the IDF, the plan also suggested placing explosives along routes that residents might use, aiming to impede the advance of IDF troops. Additionally, the document proposed firing sonic bombs within the displaced persons camps to generate chaos and fear, thereby aiding militants hiding in the vicinity to flee.
The IDF emphasized that this plan was formulated despite awareness of the significant risks posed to civilians in the camps and those using the transit routes. The military views this as further evidence of Hamas's willingness to exploit and endanger the civilian population of Gaza to achieve its military objectives and protect its operatives.
