Israel has released what it claims to be a ‘hostage manual’ that was discovered on the bodies of Hamas fighters.
The manual, allegedly given to Hamas militants before their cross-border assault on October 7, provides a disturbing insight into the strategies and tactics employed by the terrorist group.
Adorned with images of individuals wielding assault rifles and rocket launchers, the manual offers detailed instructions on how to commit atrocities. It outlines the process of abducting hostages, isolating them, and maintaining control over them.
Shockingly, the document even suggests using hostages as ‘cannon fodder,’ reflecting the terrorists’ complete disregard for human life.
The racist WaPo editor who celebrated Hamas’ attacks as “decolonization” today promoted the idea that claiming Hamas uses human shields is Islamophobic. Same day a Hamas manual was uncovered that urges taking hostages as “human shields”

The manual also contains specific directives for the militants during their operations. They are advised not to provide food using their own supplies, unless in emergency situations.
Furthermore, they are instructed to set fire to various locations and display strength as they wreak havoc across Israel. The document also advises against using wireless communication in open areas, while ensuring there is a live broadcast in the field.
Interestingly, the manual suggests that the militants should use cameras as much as possible while holding the hostages. It also advises them not to engage in negotiations in the field, leaving this task to the Hamas leadership.
These instructions indicate a high level of organization and planning, which is deeply concerning.
Additionally, the manual seems to provide information about the Israeli forces’ weapons and rockets. It includes details about the ranks in the Israeli armed forces and how to recognize high-ranking members.
This information could potentially be used to target specific individuals or units within the Israeli military.

The release of this manual follows a brutal attack by Hamas militants on peaceful villages, resulting in the deaths of men, women, and children, as well as the abduction of many more.
The savagery of these attacks and the disturbing instructions found in the manual highlight the ruthless nature of Hamas and their complete disregard for human life. It underscores the urgent need for continued vigilance and robust defense strategies to protect innocent lives from such atrocities.
