The IDF spokesman revealed an internal Hamas planning document detailing the placement of explosives near displaced persons camps in the Gaza Strip during the war. The document was written in April 2024 and describes how 'Hamas planned to plant explosives in areas of displaced persons camps in Gaza, as part of preparations to protect the organization's leadership and its terrorists and evacuate them from areas where the IDF was expected to operate, while endangering and exploiting the lives of the civilian population in the area.' The plan revealed that the terrorists intended to detonate the explosives as forces approached, endangering the civilian population in the camps, in order to create panic as a smokescreen for its terrorists' escape.
