New attacks were planned on Israel: Hamas was preparing for the "second stage" massacre - WP

American journalists write about evidence that Hamas's fighters were ready for the "second phase" of attacks to ignite the war on the western bank of the Jordan River and beyond. The Hamas Islamic Movement fighters aimed to ignite a large -scale conflict in the Middle East and planned new attacks on Israel in case of successful attack on October 7.

Several former and current security staff and security services of four Western and Middle Eastern countries have reported this to the publication of The Washington Post. Hamas planned not to be limited to Israeli settlements near the border with the Gaza Sector and was preparing for the "second stage" of the attack deep into Israel.

This is evidenced by the evidence that it was possible to collect after the inspection of the dead terrorists, namely maps, drawings, notes, as well as the weapons they wore. So, in Beer, Kibutz, captured by Hamas on October 7, one of the dead soldiers had a notepad written by poems from the Koran and orders, which simply said: "To kill as many people as possible and take as many hostages as possible.

" Other terrorists were equipped with gas cans, handcuffs and thermobaric grenades that instantly turned homes into hell. "Everyone was like a fragment of a horrible puzzle, an excerpt of small details of the operation, which provided hundreds of individual crimes in certain places.

After five weeks, the newly collected fragments began to reveal the contours of the wider plan of Hamas, which, according to analysts, was not just to kill and capture the Israelites, but also inflame a fire that will cover the region and lead to a wider conflict, "the source reads.

It was also assumed that the militants would reach the territories of the West Bank of Jordan under the control of the Palestinian National Administration, as well as penetrate into large Israeli cities and military bases. To do this, some participants of the raid were issued enough ammunition, food and equipment. "This evidence shows the intention of Hamas terrorists to strike a historic scale," The Washington Post writes.

The leadership of the terrorist group was extinguished on the powerful response of Israel, including a ground surgery in the Gaza Sector, in response to mass murder and hostage. The militants were also aware that this would cause great casualties among the civilian population of Gaza. We will remind, as of the 38th day of the war in Israel in Tsakhal recognized the death of 363 of their soldiers and officers. Of these, 45 servicemen were killed after the landscaping in the Gaza Sector.
