Hamas terrorists found carrying instructions for deploying cyanide-based chemical weapons in Israelis villages
Hamas terrorists killed in the horrific Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel were discovered carrying instructions on how to deploy cyanide-based chemical bombs, Israeli officials revealed.
The directions included detailed diagrams for a “cyanide dispersion device” and were stored in USBs found on the bodies of Hamas operatives who massacred Kibbutz Be’eri, according to Israeli intelligence reviewed by Axios.
“This finding points to an intention by Hamas to use chemical weapons as part of its terror attack against civilians,” a cable sent by Israel to its embassies read.
The cable advised the embassies to inform its diplomats that Hamas had been instructed “to conduct attacks in a similar way that ISIS tried to do.”
Israeli President Isaac Herzog confirmed the existence of the instructions during an interview with Sky News Sunday, disclosing they originated from an Al Qaeda design for chemical weapons dating back to 2003.
“It’s Al Qaeda material. Official Al Qaeda material. We are dealing with ISIS, Al Qaeda and Hamas,” President Herzog said.
“This is how shocking the situation is where we’re looking at the instructions that are given on how to operate and how to create a kind of non-professional chemical weapon with cyanide.”
Israeli officials have repeatedly compared Hamas to groups like ISIS — a terror group known for using horrifying violence while trying to force extremist Islamic law across the world — since its attack on the Jewish homeland two weeks ago.
“The atrocities carried out by Hamas have not been seen since the atrocities of ISIS,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in an address shortly after the attack.
“Children bound and executed with the rest of their families, young girls and boys shot in the back, executed, and other atrocities that I will not describe here.”
Hamas even brought ISIS flags to some of the Kibbutzs attacked during the ambush, according to images released by Israeli Defense Force soldiers.
Israel has disclosed other pieces of intelligence reportedly found on the bodies of Hamas agents, including battle plans to “kill as many people as possible” and take hostages as they raided and burned civilian villages.
Some plans reportedly included explicit directions to target schools for kidnapping children en masse and pointed out locations where large groups of people were likely to be found like supermarkets and dining halls.
