IDF reveals Hamas document detailing plans to plant explosives near displaced persons camps

The IDF disclosed an internal Hamas document from April 2024 outlining plans to place explosive devices adjacent to displaced persons camps in Gaza. According to the document, Hamas' engineering department proposed detonating explosives as IDF troops approached to create panic and enable operatives to escape, deliberately putting civilians at risk. The plan also included planting devices along routes used by Gaza residents to delay IDF advances and firing stun grenades into camps to create chaos. The IDF states this demonstrates Hamas' willingness to endanger Gaza's civilian population to advance its operations and protect its leadership.
