A gunman who killed two Brown University students and a professor in Massachusetts recorded videos revealing he planned the attack for months, showed no remorse, and blamed innocent children for the deaths, with no clear motive provided. The suspect, a Portuguese immigrant and former university student, expressed regret about coming to the US but denied mental illness or hatred towards America.
The accused shooter, a former Brown student, planned and carried out a deadly attack at Brown University and MIT, leaving behind videos revealing he had planned the assault for years; he was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot after the shootings.
Israeli intelligence officers have revealed that digital devices and documents retrieved from dead or captured Hamas gunmen after the October 7 attack show years of planning and a high level of detail for an assault aimed at breaking people's spirit. The materials include plans to attack bases and kibbutzim, satellite photos, precise plans of targeted areas, and instructions on taking hostages. Israel has reactivated a military intelligence unit to analyze the material, which has provided surprising insights into Hamas' preparations for the attack.
Evidence from slain militants and intelligence sources reveals that Hamas had planned a historic assault on Israel, aiming to provoke a wider conflict in the region. The attack on October 7th was intended not only to kill and capture Israelis but also to spark a conflagration that would sweep the region. Hamas militants carried out a mass slaughter of soldiers and civilians in Israeli towns and military outposts, and evidence suggests they were prepared to continue deeper into Israel if the initial wave of attacks succeeded. The planning for the assault had been underway for over a year, with Hamas conducting military exercises, gathering intelligence, and deceiving Israel's intelligence establishment. The attack aimed to buy Hamas a place in the history of jihad at the expense of many lives in Gaza.
