Newly uncovered internal communications show that Hamas’s leadership viewed Operation Guardian of the Walls as a major success, according to a new report from N12.
The report reveals that Yahya Sinwar, who was serving as Hamas’s military commander at the time, took advantage of the 2021 ceasefire to lull Israel into a false sense of security while secretly laying the groundwork for the October 7 attacks.
The documents are described in the report as outlining a “calculated strategy designed to exploit the internal weaknesses of Israeli society and bring about its collapse from within.”
Sinwar is said to have believed that the ceasefire was a clear strategic advantage, offering Hamas benefits at Israel’s expense.
