Hamas Fighters Carried Detailed Maps Of Israeli Targets — WSJ
Hamas fighters, who poured into southern Israel last weekend in a massive surprise attack, had detailed maps of their targets, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on Thursday, based on analysis of document samples.
The maps, operational plans, and instructions on how to engage the Israeli military were reportedly recovered from the bodies of Hamas militants. They indicate the sophistication of the preparation for the raids and suggest that the plans included targeting civilians, the newspaper said.
One set of documents included Hamas intelligence on Mefalsim, a kibbutz (Jewish communal settlement). It included aerial pictures, noted that the community only had a volunteer defense force, and warned that Israeli troops could arrive within minutes.
