The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) revealed a Hamas internal planning document detailing a plot to plant explosives near displacement camps in the Gaza Strip during the ongoing war. The document, dated April 2024, outlines Hamas's intention to place explosive devices in areas adjacent to these camps.

According to the IDF, the plan was part of Hamas's efforts to protect its leadership and operatives, facilitating their movement out of areas where the IDF was expected to operate. The strategy involved detonating the explosives when IDF forces approached, thereby creating panic among the civilian population in the camps. This chaos was intended to serve as a smokescreen for the escape of Hamas militants.

The IDF stated that this tactic would have endangered and exploited the lives of civilians residing in the camps, highlighting Hamas's disregard for civilian safety in its operational planning.
