Hamas’s military wing has so far willingly accepted civilian casualties. This is evident from evaluated message logs of the terrorist leadership, which have now become public. According to Hamas, the many deaths in the Gaza Strip are ‘necessary victims’.
According to a report in the American newspaper “Wall Street Journal”, the head of the radical Islamist Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Jihia al-Sinwar, has not yet agreed to a ceasefire with Israel, as he expects benefits from the continued fighting and the increasing number of casualties. among Palestinian citizens.
This is evident from messages that Al-Sinwar recently sent to Hamas representatives involved in ceasefire negotiations, the newspaper reported. Sinwar said of the thousands of deaths in Gaza in a message to Hamas leaders in Doha (Qatar): “They are necessary victims.”
Dozens of messages evaluated
The Wall Street Journal said it had access to dozens of messages, although it was not clear whether they were text, voice or other types of messages. “We have the Israelis right where we want them,” the terrorist leader reportedly recently stated.
In many messages, Al-Sinwar showed “a cold disregard for human life and made it clear that he believes Israel has more to lose from the war than Hamas,” the paper continues. Al-Sinwar is not the first Palestinian leader to use bloodshed as leverage against Israel. But the scale of the collateral damage in this war – killing civilians and causing destruction – is unprecedented between Israelis and Palestinians.
The Hamas leader was surprised by the brutality
Al-Sinwar planned the October 7 Hamas terrorist attacks in the Israeli border area that sparked the current Gaza war. But very early messages to ceasefire negotiators showed he was surprised by the brutality of Hamas fighters and other Palestinians and how easily they committed atrocities, the newspaper continued.
“Things got out of hand,” he wrote in one of the messages, referring to the gangs taking civilian women and children hostage. “People are involved in this and this should not have happened.”
Despite Israel’s best efforts to kill him, Al-Sinwar lives in a secret location in the Gaza Strip. The news also indicated that he would be willing to die in battle, the newspaper continued.
