Hamas' Coded Instructions: Targeting Civilians and Taking Captives

A coded document recovered from a vehicle used by Hamas terrorists revealed instructions to massacre civilians and take captives during their attack on Israel. The document included commands to slaughter captives, burn homes and fields, and use captives as human shields. Additional documents showed extensive plans to target schools, youth centers, and specific Israeli communities, with instructions to kill as many people as possible. The evidence points to an extensively planned and coordinated Hamas operation to target and kill civilians, including women, children, and the elderly. Israel has declared war on Hamas and has been conducting airstrikes in Gaza, resulting in casualties on both sides.
