'Top secret' Hamas documents show that terrorists intentionally targeted elementary schools

Source: NBC News

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.

The documents were found on the bodies of Hamas terrorists by Israeli first responders and shared with NBC News. They include detailed maps and show that Hamas intended to kill or take hostage civilians and school children.

One page labeled “Top Secret” outlines a plan of attack for Kfar Sa’ad, saying “Combat unit 1” is directed to “contain the new Da’at school,” while “Combat unit 2” is to “collect hostages,” “search the Bnei Akiva youth center” and “search the old Da’at school.”

Who sends troops into battle with specific copies of their plans? I just got to wonder, is Hamas that stupid?

Also where is BeBe in all this? Why didn't he see this coming? Did he know and do nothing like W and 9/11? Or was his intelligence that bad?

If the papers are real, then BeBe is that bad at intelligence. If Hamas passes out copies of their attack plan to their soldiers, then intelligence agencies should have been able to get the info before the attack.

plans for that unit's operation, labeled "Top Secret". My understanding is, that really happened. The plans were supposed to have remained in England, but the commander brought them along, for what reason, we don't know, as, I believe, he was killed in the crash. The German's dismissed them as a false flag, thankfully.
