Hamas released a report justifying its October 7 attack on Israel, claiming its fighters were committed to Islamic values and that civilian casualties were accidental.
The report referred to the attack as a necessary step against Israel’s alleged occupation of Palestinian territories and a way to secure the release of Palestinian prisoners.
However, the report’s claims contradict extensive evidence of the deliberate targeting of civilians, including women and children, during the attack.
Look at these young women.
Look at what Hamas has done to them.
Look at the terror in their eyes.

“Avoiding harm to civilians, especially children, women and elderly people is a religious and moral commitment by all the Al-Qassam Brigades’ fighters,” the report read.
It added that “the Palestinian terrorists were keen to avoid harming civilians, despite the fact that the resistance does not possess precise weapons.”
“In addition, if there was any case of targeting civilians, it happened accidently and in the course of the confrontation with the occupation forces,” they wrote.
International bodies, including the U.N. and the International Criminal Court, have launched investigations into possible crimes against humanity committed by Hamas, indicating the severity of the terror group’s widely documented atrocities.
