The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on Monday revealed an internal Hamas document from April 2024 detailing plans to plant explosives around refugee camps in the Gaza Strip. The document, exposed for the first time, outlines Hamas's intention to detonate these devices as IDF forces approached, aiming to create panic that would serve as a smokescreen for the escape of its operatives. This strategy was proposed by Hamas's engineering department.
The plan also included methods to conceal explosives along routes that Palestinian civilians might use, intended to impede IDF advances. Additionally, Hamas considered deploying sonic bombs in the camps to generate chaos and facilitate the escape of its militants. The IDF stated that these actions demonstrate Hamas's willingness to endanger civilian lives in Gaza to advance its terror operations, noting that the organization was aware of the potential harm to civilians.
According to the IDF, the document indicates Hamas's intent to protect its leadership and fighters by orchestrating these dangerous maneuvers, particularly in areas where the IDF was expected to operate.
