The six‑page document was written in Arabic in August 2022 and includes orders to harm soldiers and civilians, to set neighborhoods on fire, and to document acts of violence for purposes of intimidation and undermining stability in Israel.
The document also contains instructions to “set houses on fire using diesel or gasoline” and to carry out “two or three operations in which an entire settlement will be set ablaze.”
According to signal intercepts by Unit 8200 on the day of the massacre, Hamas commanders in the field called on the attackers to “burn everything” and to “put the entire kibbutz into flames.” Others ordered to “slaughter” soldiers at close range and to “film the scenes and broadcast them to the entire Muslim world.”
The document and the intercepts, Israeli officials said, prove that Hamas planned in advance a merciless attack on civilians, contrary to the organization’s claims that its objective was only military in nature.

One year ago the glorious IDF soldiers eliminated this savage from the face of the earth. Yimach shmo vezichro.
And they are planning again
And of course they’ll say Israel wrote it. Just wait
Shocking headline. Who would have thought.
There is no way we could have figured out the headline information without this evidence.
Sick monster. Rest in pieces
