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.’

Sounds like somebody now wants to get off the Israel assassination list.

Incapable of saying anything that isn’t a LIE. Let him and all his buddies die painful deaths, very soon.

Amazing that with their last-minute change of plans to target civilians that they were able to produce such detailed maps of civilian targets.

Liar.

They didn’t change the plan, it was planned out, all of it. I mean planned out to the media, the protests, the storyline on what to say on the news.

They believed they could control the Israeli response……that might be the one thing they failed on.

Spielberg may already be writing the script of a future movie.

It does not matter what you did or did not mean to do. It matters what you did.

These Hamas guys are just not really bright. Attack Israel, kill 1500 Jews, then go back to your enclave and tunnel system where you are surrounded. They really deserve the fate that awaits them.

... and all the butchered babies and raped women were just part of this big mistake that got out of hand.

Unfortunately there are millions of people who truly believe this crap ... and you know who they are!

KILL HAMAS!
No "ceasefire"! Kill 'em 'till they're dead ... when they can no longer hurt you!

Oh hogwash. The notion that an entire army just turned on a time (so to speak) and started savagely mass raping, burning babies alive and beheading them, torturing family members in front of each other and killing them, and so much unspeakably more, without forethought and working themselves up to a rationalizing frenzy of self-righteous evil over time is ludicrous.
