Top Hamas military commander claims October 7 attacks were never meant to target Israeli civilians as he breaks ranks to criticise terror group's leaders 'who changed the plan last-minute' in extraordinary intervention

A top Hamas military commander has broken ranks to criticise the terror group’s leaders, claiming that its barbaric October 7 attacks were never supposed to target Israeli civilians.

In an exclusive interview with The Mail on Sunday, the leader of a battalion of 400 Hamas terrorists claimed that the initial plan was to kill Israeli soldiers and take some troops hostage.

But he said that orders were changed at the last minute by Hamas political leaders which led to the savage rape, torture and murder of more than 1,400 children, women and men. Hundreds of Israelis were taken hostage back to Gaza.

‘I am one of the planners (of October 7) and we did not expect it to go this way,’ he said, speaking via the encrypted Telegram app last week.

‘Our leadership was speaking to our young ones saying go, do whatever you like, take whatever you like…You see and witness we have killed babies.

‘Us going there into civilian areas, taking 250 hostages, wasn’t planned. They are civilians. Our plan was to take a few [military] hostages in return for our prisoners.’

I had little respect for the Daily Mail but I never knew they would stoop so low to print such trash.

Nice try snapperhead, you are still a dead man walking. Perhaps you can explain it to the hell fire missal before it turns you into cloud of pink mist.

As he walks back to his car he says from the corner of his mouth: “You think they bought it?”

Where have I heard this before? Oh, that’s right, in Nuremberg. “It wasn’t *our* fault! It was those crazy monsters in the SS! We in the Wehrmacht were just following orders!”

That’s very nice. Now hang them all.

I think the plan was to act so outrageously and brutally that the Israeli would respond so violently that the rest of the Moslem world would join them in a full-scale attack on Israel.

Sounds like this guy is practicing “Taqiya”. Lying for Islam.

The problem with that is that Islam gives them permission to lie and pretend to convert in order to deceive the infidels.

Apparently that is working. You have the woke Left in the West supporting the Muslim World against Israel.

That’s irrelevant what was allegedly *meant* to happen.

It doesn’t absolve you of the guilt or responsibility of what happened.

I don’t think they knew about the rave they stumbled in to; it just provided a bonus opportunity to show what monsters they are.

“Top” commander? More like a bottom commander if he’s not in control.
