‘Horrifying images, heart-wrenching scenes’: Alleged Sinwar plan to broadcast October 7 atrocities published

Israel is publishing the full text of a memo found in Gaza this year and believed to have been written by Hamas’s now-slain leader in the Strip, Yahya Sinwar, detailing the Palestinian terror group’s plans to target civilians during the October 7 massacre and broadcast the atrocities live.

A day after a New York Times report on its contents, the full document and an analysis are posted online by the Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center, a government-controlled think tank.

“Events must be planned from which horrifying images will emerge,” reads one passage according to the organization’s translation. “A few car bombs exploding inside an outpost or building and causing massive destruction. Heart-wrenching scenes. Enormous fires. 5 or 10 such images will break their spirit.”

The Foreign Ministry also publishes a picture of a page from the handwritten note, saying that it proves “the massacre wasn’t chaos, but choreography.”

“This wasn’t a ‘spontaneous uprising.’ It was a scripted campaign for the destruction of Israel — planned, rehearsed and executed,” the ministry charges on social media.
