Israeli authorities possessed a 40-page battle plan outlining Hamas' October 7 attack a year in advance, but military and intelligence officials dismissed it as "imaginative" and impossible to carry out. The plan, known as the "Jericho Wall," detailed tactics such as rocket barrages and the use of drones to knock out security cameras. It also included sensitive information about Israeli military forces and communication hubs.

The manual provides instructions on operating weapons, identifies vulnerabilities in Israeli military equipment, and offers tips on killing with a knife. Other documents include attack plans on Israeli communities and detailed maps. Experts believe the documents to be genuine and matching a cache of other documents gathered by Israeli forces.

Documents found on the bodies of Hamas operatives reveal detailed plans to target elementary schools and a youth center in the Israeli kibbutz of Kfar Sa'ad, with the intention to kill as many people as possible, hold hostages, and quickly take them into the Gaza Strip. The documents, labeled "top secret" in Arabic, include maps and instructions for two trained Hamas units to surround and infiltrate villages, targeting places where civilians gather. Israeli authorities are still determining the death count in Kfar Sa'ad, while more than 120 civilians have been confirmed as held captive by Hamas in Gaza. The documents also indicate that Hamas had been systematically gathering intelligence on Israeli kibbutzim and creating specific attack plans, intentionally targeting women and children.
