IDF: Hamas planned to take over Palestinian Islamic Jihad

Today (Tuesday), the IDF Spokesperson in Arabic revealed documents seized by the IDF, showing Hamas plans to take over rival terrorist group Palestinian Islamic Jihad in order to maintain dominance of all armed forces.

Here is the full statement:

"The IDF reveals an internal document issued by Hamas's military intelligence service dating back to 2020, detailing a plan developed by Hamas to dominate the decision-making process within the Islamic Jihad organization, and to achieve effective control over its military wing.

"In the document, Hamas criticizes the Islamic Jihad movement, stressing the need to control the organization. It accuses it of mismatching its political statements on the one hand and its reckless military actions on the other, noting that Islamic Jihad members fire rockets without coordination, which weakens cooperation between terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip. In the document, Hamas also criticizes Islamic Jihad's strategy of exerting force.

"In the document, Hamas presents a series of steps aimed at achieving these goals within less than a year, including collecting information about Islamic Jihad and forming a committee to control the centers of power in the decision-making process within the organization.

"The document proves that Hamas's tyranny is not limited to the violent repression it practices against the population of the Gaza Strip, but also extends to its rival terrorist organizations. This document also refutes the false slogans in Gaza about the existence of a united front among terrorist organizations."
