Much has been said about those not involved in Gaza. In special footage for the foreign media today (Wednesday) the IDF revealed footage of Gazan children in military activity and incitement in the service of Hamas.

According to the IDF's statement, newly revealed footage proves that the terrorist organization Hamas educates and incites the children in the Gaza Strip to terrorism. From a young age, they are taught to hate Israel and Jews, and already in schools, youth movements and summer camps, the children undergo theoretical and practical military training.

The IDF stated that during normal times, Hamas conducts summer camps, in which the children learn to fire weapons, attack from a tunnel, fight against tanks and even kidnap soldiers. The camps are early stages of training in the military branch. According to intelligence, a large number of minors work in the terrorist organizations Hamas and the 'Palestinian Islamic Jihad'.

Even during the war, the IDF says, the terrorist organization Hamas uses minors for various tasks, for example sending children to deliver messages and ammunition. As the IDF has already revealed in the past in the investigation of a company commander in the 'Zeitun' battalion in Hamas, part of the doctrine of warfare is the use of children to deliver explosives, for example under the guise of bags of vegetables and this with the understanding that the IDF will not harm them.

Also, the children are sent to the battlefields after attacks in order to assess the damage and report it to the terrorists who hide in shelters.
