A DISTURBING six-page memo written by ex-Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar ordering militants to “stab and slaughter” Israeli soldiers has emerged.
The October 7 mastermind’s letter instructed fellow extremists to stoke fear into the hearts and minds of Israeli communities – and called on fighters to broadcast the carnage.

Chillingly similar instructions were given to Hamas fighters on the dreaded day in 2023 where 1,200 civilians were killed and 250 taken hostage.
The document, reportedly written in August 2022, was found in an underground complex by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in May.
Israel‘s military say they found the document in a tunnel used by Muhammed Sinwar – the head’s brother and successor.
The IDF told The New York Times: “It appears to be a directive from Mr. Sinwar with instructions for the [October 7] assault.”
It reportedly ordered terrorists to target soldiers and civilians and “to broadcast the violent acts so as to evoke fear in Israelis and destabilize the country”.
It also calls on Hamas fighters to enter communities “with gasoline or diesel from a tanker”.
Sinwar’s depraved memo reportedly reads: “Two or three operations, in which an entire neighborhood, kibbutz, or something similar will be burned, must be prepared.”
A separate memo intercepted by a Hamas commander on October 7 bears striking resemblance to the orders dished out by Sinwar.
According to The Times of Israel, it reads: “Start setting homes on fire.”
“Burn, burn… I want the whole kibbutz to be in flames.”
Sinwar, who was dubbed “Gaza’s Bin Laden”, was confirmed dead in October 2024, after an Israeli strike.
It comes after harrowing witness testimonies reported watching Hamas terrorists rape and mutilate women during the horrific October 7 attack.
Investigative reports revealed a pattern of widespread sexual atrocities conducted by the terror group on the infamous day.
Among the 1,200 innocent people slaughtered, some young women were stripped and tied to trees and poles and shot through their genitals and in the head, The Times reports.
Hamas raped and gang raped in at least six difference locations, according to the new testimony compiled in The Dinah Report.
The first-hand experience comes from 15 of the returned hostages, one survivor of attempted rape at the Nova music festival, and 17 who saw or heard the attacks.
The survivors describe scenes of “unspeakable violence” and “systematic depravity” in the new report compiled by Israeli legal and gender-based violence experts.
It comes as US troops have reportedly started arriving in Israel to oversee the Gaza ceasefire as thousands of Palestinians flood home.
Nearly 200,000 people have returned since the ceasefire came into effect on Friday – kicking off a 72-hour countdown for the return of all 20 Israeli hostages.
