Recent documents seized by Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip have revealed disturbing details about Hamas' plans for attacks on Israel. The documents, totaling 59 pages, outline various schemes including a plot to blow up a skyscraper in Tel Aviv and requests for funding and training from Iran.
The materials uncovered by Israeli forces indicate that Hamas had considered using trains, boats, and even horse-drawn chariots for their attacks. The group had also reached out to Iran in 2021, seeking financial and military support to bolster their forces against Israel.
An Israeli security official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, expressed concern over Hamas' determination to eliminate Israel and its people. The official highlighted Hamas' efforts to draw Iran into direct conflict, a move that Iran initially resisted but has since seen its proxies engaging in attacks on Israel.
In response to the documents, the Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran dismissed the claims made by Israel, labeling them as false information. The mission accused Israel of fabricating documents and engaging in deceptive operations.
The seized plans also included strategies for attacking various targets in Israel, such as military command centers, shopping malls, and prominent buildings like the Moshe Aviv Tower and the Azrieli Center complex in Tel Aviv. One plan even mentioned the use of horse-drawn carriages as a means of transportation for fighters and weapons.
As tensions continue to escalate in the region, the revelations from the seized documents shed light on the extent of Hamas' intentions and the potential involvement of external actors like Iran in the conflict.
