    I wouldn’t trust anything “found” by Israeli intelligence. Having said that, according to article, these are plans for:

    Hamas units to surround and infiltrate villages and target places where civilians, including children, gather.

    Which is reasonably close to what happened. Given how direct and quick the strike was, it’s reasonable to assume that plans of that nature exist.

    Then again, October 7th was a a Saturday and a holiday and Hamas attacked early in the morning. If they wanted to kidnap kids, it wouldn’t make sense to target schools.

    TLDR: I dunno. Maybe.

      Other officials in their leadership said they were confused about the timing.

      The attack was also the 50th anniversary, to the day, of the Yom Kippur war.

        Yeah, it’s not as if they live close to Jewish people, probably no idea what their Sabbath is.
