The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has revealed an internal Hamas document detailing a plan to plant explosive devices near refugee camps in the Gaza Strip. The document, dated April 2024 and disclosed for the first time, outlines Hamas's intention to detonate these explosives as IDF forces approached, aiming to create panic and cover for the escape of its operatives. This strategy would have deliberately endangered the civilian population residing in the camps.
According to the IDF, the Hamas engineering department proposed placing the devices around the camps and detonating them to facilitate the movement of terrorists. The document also suggested alternative tactics, including the use of sonic bombs within the camps to generate chaos and fear. Additionally, Hamas considered planting explosives along routes that civilians might use, intended to impede IDF progress.
The IDF spokesperson stated that this revelation serves as further evidence of Hamas's willingness to endanger Gazan civilians to advance its terrorist operations. The plan aimed to protect Hamas leadership and operatives by evacuating them from areas where the IDF was expected to operate, despite the explicit risk to civilian lives.
