Maps and documents recovered from the bodies of Hamas attackers reveal a coordinated plan to target children and take hostages inside an Israeli village near Gaza.

Documents exclusively obtained by NBC News show that Hamas created detailed plans to target elementary schools and a youth center in the Israeli kibbutz of Kfar Sa'ad, to "kill as many people as possible," seize hostages and quickly move them into the Gaza Strip.

The attack plans, which are labeled "top secret" in Arabic, appear to be orders for two highly trained Hamas units to surround and infiltrate villages and target places where civilians, including children, gather. Israeli authorities are still determining the death toll in Kfar Sa'ad.

What a bunch of propagandistic shit, OP. We all already know Hamas is a terrorist organization who launched a massacre aimed at creating as much shock and horror as possible. Let's shift the conversation to Israel and what we can, as westerners, advocate for and against.

The US literally has a Zionist president. Biden passionately supports Israel's Settler Colonialism, Genocide, and excuses their War Crimes. Nothing will be done about this, for years, until voters prove we will vote against this wicked set of beliefs. 70% of Americans support Palestine. Why have we got a Zionist president?

Voters don't have that much say in who becomes president. The system is rigged. You either get fascist red or diet fascist blue. Until the first past the post system is eliminated it's going to stay rigged.

American voters are too busy trying to prevent the right from taking over to consider what our only option's current stance on foreign policy is. Add to that the crippling fact that about half of our voting population actually does want a red flavored fascist take over.

If not for our zionist president, we'd have a dictator wannabe entering his second term. It's not a good situation.

Edit: I'm not saying this post isn't propaganda bullshit, just that relying on the American voter to vote on foreign policy morals isn't going to get you very far.

Huh?? If you think it’s true then how is reporting this propagandistic? Shall they only post info that isn’t related to the investigations into the attack?

I’m not defending the idf by any means but you really missed the forest for the trees. The conversation has been on Israel and hamas, why are you mad that all reporting isn’t just Israel?

Do you hear yourself lol

a single article discussing findings of the ongoing investigation

What we as westerners can and can’t advocate for

Are you joking? This absolutely has been happening since it popped off but one NBC article and the west has fAiLEd

Give me a fucking break

I'm mad that reporting isn't on Israel because Hamas' horrendous attack is now past tense and Israel is now in control of the situation where news is happening basically hourly.

Half of Gaza is expected to evacuate to the south today before Israel is going to - I don't know what.

If the most present situation isn't being talked about, then this isn't a good source of news.
