Hamas terrorists were carrying instructions for using cyanide-based chemical weapons, linking to Al Qaeda

In a shocking revelation, Israeli authorities have disclosed that Hamas terrorists who were involved in the deadly October 7th attack in the southern region of the country were carrying instructions on the use of cyanide-based chemical bombs. This finding raises concerns about the potential use of chemical weapons by the terrorist group in its attacks against civilians. The attack, which unfolded at Kibbutz Be’eri, marked yet another distressing scene of bloodshed orchestrated by Hamas, further intensifying global apprehension regarding the group’s tactics. The Israeli military says it does not target civilians. It says Palestinian terrorists have fired over 7,000 rockets at Israel since the start of the war. According to reports, Axios conducted a review of Israeli intelligence data, revealing that the Hamas militants had instructions stored on USB devices. These instructions included intricate blueprints for a “cyanide dispersion device,” shedding light on the extent of planning and sophistication involved in their nefarious activities. The Israeli intelligence reviewed by Axios suggests that Hamas had a deliberate intention to employ chemical weapons as part of its terror campaign against innocent civilians. In response to this revelation, Israeli authorities sent a cable to their embassies worldwide, urging them to inform their diplomats about the situation. The cable drew parallels between Hamas’s intended approach and the tactics previously attempted by ISIS. Israeli President Isaac Herzog, in an exclusive interview with Sky News, confirmed the existence of these instructions. He disclosed that they had their origins in an Al Qaeda design for chemical weapons dating back to 2003, underlining the alarming connections between different extremist groups. Moreover, reports from the New York Post have revealed that some of these instructions included explicit directions on targeting schools for mass kidnappings. They also pointed out locations where large groups of people were likely to be found, such as supermarkets and dining halls, adding a chilling dimension to the threat posed by these militants. This revelation has sent shockwaves throughout the international community, as authorities remain on high alert, fearing the potential use of chemical weapons by Hamas in their ongoing campaign of terror. The military said Monday that it had struck 320 militant targets throughout Gaza over the last 24 hours. It said it had destroyed anti-tank positions and other targets that could endanger forces preparing for “a manoeuvre in the Gaza Strip,” an apparent reference to a ground operation. More than 1,400 people in Israel have been killed — mostly civilians slain during the initial Hamas attack. At least 212 people were captured and dragged back to Gaza. Two Americans were released Friday, hours before the first shipment of humanitarian aid. More than 4,600 people have been killed in Gaza, according to the Hamas-run Health Ministry. That includes the disputed toll from a hospital explosion. The Israeli military says it does not target civilians. It says Palestinian terrorists have fired over 7,000 rockets at Israel since the start of the war. With agency inputs.
