Yahya Sinwar's Handwritten Plan Reveals Chilling Details of Hamas October 7 Attack
Nearly three years after the horrific October 7 massacre, new disturbing details have emerged about the meticulously planned Hamas attack masterminded by Yahya Sinwar. Channel 12 revealed excerpts from a handwritten document by Sinwar, composed about a year before the assault, outlining a detailed invasion strategy. The plan involved deploying 10,000 well-trained fighters, three times the actual force used, divided into specific tasks: 2,500 militants to seize 25 key junctions in southern Israel, 2,210 to target kibbutzim and small communities, 1,600 to attack larger settlements, and 2,000 to raid IDF bases.
The document shows that nothing on that morning was spontaneous. Sinwar emphasized rapid control of junctions to paralyze the area and issued ruthless orders regarding civilians, including forcibly expelling settlers with their vehicles and prioritizing the abduction of women and children. Men aged 17 to 50 were to be taken hostage, with their phones and documents confiscated. Sinwar also anticipated an unprecedented Israeli response, warning that Israel might even use a nuclear bomb on Gaza. He claimed Israel would be caught off guard, descending into chaos that would allow Hamas to establish a new narrative.
According to the forthcoming publication by the Amith Institute for Terror and Intelligence Research at MALM, Sinwar was willing to risk millions of Palestinian lives to promote the image of "return to Palestine" and reconquest of villages. The document reveals his extreme confidence and deep conviction that the invasion would unify fronts and ultimately lead to Israel's destruction, describing the campaign as a "life or death system."
