Earlier on Friday, NYT released a report based on a 40-page Hamas plan of attack executed on October 7. The document is said to have circulated in the Israeli intelligence and military circles, but it was dismissed as it appeared "too ambitious."
Among other documents recovered and made public, was "originally handwritten but recovered from a laptop detailed a plan to seize an IDF command post close to the Gaza border fence with two squads of soldiers, listing their weapons and roles and contains a careful hand-drawn map of the target location," said The Guardian.
The report called some of the intelligence "arguably more detailed than would have been required by the IDF itself."
It is now believed that Hamas spent years in preparation for the October 7 attack that killed 1200 people in Israel, but there was also a "last-minute" element in the decision-making of the group's operatives.
