Maps and documents recovered from the bodies of Hamas attackers reveal a coordinated plan to target children and take hostages inside an Israeli village near Gaza.

Documents exclusively obtained by NBC News show that Hamas created detailed plans to target elementary schools and a youth center in the Israeli kibbutz of Kfar Sa’ad, to “kill as many people as possible,” seize hostages and quickly move them into the Gaza Strip.

The attack plans, which are labeled “top secret” in Arabic, appear to be orders for two highly trained Hamas units to surround and infiltrate villages and target places where civilians, including children, gather. Israeli authorities are still determining the death toll in Kfar Sa’ad.

    It’s not whataboutism, it’s identifying the root cause of the conflict. They’re absolutely both terror organizations, but criticizing one without criticizing the other equally is taking a clear side.

        Israel isn’t the excuse, Israel is the cause. There is no Hamas without Israel. The Israeli government, funds and informs them so they have a righteous enemy.

        You either lack integrity, intelligence, or both.

        Your straw man about whataboutism is a logical fallacy. It’s cherry picking the false equivalence of Motte and Bailey versus ad hominem. It lacks epistemic justification and borders on begging the question : Free Palestine 🇵🇸

            I thought the talking points propaganda department would at least wait a week before bringing back the hits, but here we are: projection.
