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.’

Well, every member of Hamas can explain that to their God, when they are tracked down and killed.

“....never meant to target Israeli civilians...”

Too late to express that regret. Israeli civilians were ALWAYS the target, you cannot decimate the population of Israel without taking a LOT of Israeli civilian citizens.

Yep. That goes for every man of military age in Gaza. We might be able to save the women and children if we convert them to Christianity.

What he is really saying is, “We did not expect Israel to destroy Hamas, we are getting our asses kicked and killed, please stop.”

I want every Hamas-related person, permanently retired, unable to ever again talk.

I wouldn’t trust him. If you’re not going to shoot him then lock him up.

Yes, all lies. Captured documents from Hamas terrorists showed they orchestrated the torture and killing of civilians. They were given allowance by their religious priests (or whatever you call their imams) to rape the dead (necrophilia), and butcher children and babies. That was a plan from high up in the Hamas leadership. It was all meant to go the way it did.

Exactly. Those animals had no compunction about killing defenseless civilians. They don’t deserve life.

7th century barbarians and genocide go together, to say that a subset went on a killing spree as something recent is not believable. You know, like today’s democrats.

The plan we executed to start a war of extermination against us by the target of the plan wasn’t the plan.

Give them the same choice Muslims give their conquered captives. Islam - convert to Islam or die, and if a negative response them kill them. Us - convert to Christianity or die. There is no reason to allow Islam to continue.

Gaza chose to make this a war against children. Gaza is now facing the consequences of its aggression.

Well, as a top commander, he should be able to order the hostages freed, or at least tell Israel where they can be found. I hope his death is painful.
