Hamas has warned Israel it is prepared to launch another attack similar to the October 7th massacre, according to a security document received by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The warning was relayed via a UN envoy and details Hamas's concerns over losing control in Gaza. The report surfaces amid separate claims that Netanyahu discussed partial reconstruction in Gaza with the US president, a claim the Prime Minister's Office denies.

  • Hamas warned Israel it is prepared to launch another attack like the October 7th massacre.
  • Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu received the warning in a security document last week.
  • The warning was conveyed to Israel via a UN envoy to Gaza.
  • Hamas cited IDF operations and loss of control as reasons for the threat.
  • The Prime Minister's Office denied separate reports about plans for Gaza reconstruction.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu received a security document last week detailing a warning from Hamas that the organization is prepared to carry out another attack similar to the October 7th massacre. The warning was conveyed to Israel via a UN envoy to Gaza.

The document, authored by the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), states that Hamas leaders claim the IDF's operations in Gaza, the shifting of the "yellow line," and the Palestinian Authority's cancellation of elections are leading to a loss of Hamas's control on the ground. The organization has warned it will not accept this situation and is ready to repeat an attack like October 7th, potentially in Israel, Judea and Samaria, or abroad.

This warning comes amid reports from last week that Prime Minister Netanyahu stated in closed discussions that reconstruction in a specific area of Gaza, near the buffer zone, would be permitted. According to Israeli officials, Netanyahu also reportedly promised the US President at the time that he would advance partial reconstruction in Gaza, despite a "20-point document" stipulating no reconstruction without full demilitarization of the Strip.

The Prime Minister's Office has dismissed the report about reconstruction plans as "complete fake news."
