New Delhi: A new information has come to light regarding the Israel-Hamas war, in which it has been told that verbal orders were given to thousands of people spread in Gaza for the Hamas attack on October 7. A media report said that the plan prepared by a handful of Hamas leaders was not known even to those who would carry it out until the morning of the attack on Israel on October 7.
According to the information received, the first order was issued before 4 am. It said- Anyone who is attending a regular training session and is not planning to attend morning prayers at their usual mosques should go to offer prayers.
An hour later, as soon as the sky in Gaza began to light up and worshipers started leaving, new instructions were issued. These were also straightforward and passed mainly by word of mouth – bring your weapon and any ammunition you have and gather at designated sites, the report said. But still no one was told what was going to happen.
Operation al-Aqsa Flood, the most ambitious operation launched by Hamas since the extremist organization took control of Gaza in 2007, remains a mystery.The decision to verbally instruct thousands of Hamas militants spread across Gaza’s 2.3 million residents is the latest in a series of measures designed to circumvent one of the most powerful surveillance systems in the world and keep information about what is about to happen.
Was the latest in. Instructions were given first to commanders of ‘battalions’ of a hundred or more spread out in a group throughout Gaza, then to platoon leaders of 20 or 30, who in turn told squad commanders, on top of a dozen, who told those friends, message to neighbors and relatives who attended the twice-weekly exercise held at dozens of locations in the enclave.
