Hamas terrorists planned to attack primary schools and a youth center in an Israeli kibbutz, with the order to ‘kill as many people as possible’.
Documents found on the bodies of dead fighters at the Kfar Sa’ad Kibbutz, obtained by NBC Newsdetail their horrific intentions.
An IDF soldier told NewsNation he saw plans that said: ‘Hunt and kill everything that moves. Pets, animals. Babies, babies.’
The soldier added: ‘It is clear that it was written for them and what we are seeing is proof of that.’
It was not clear where he got the plans.
The NBC plans of Kfar Sa’ad are labeled ‘Top Secret’ in Arabic, and contain maps and orders.
Documents found on the bodies of dead Hamas terrorists detailed their plans to attack Kfar Sa’ad
One document translated by NBC shows that ‘Combat Unit 1’ was told to ‘contain the new Da’at school’.
The document instructs ‘Combat Unit 2’ to ‘collect hostages’, ‘search the Bnei Akiva youth centre’ and ‘search the old Da’at school’.
another page, NBC saidwas labeled ‘Top Secret Maneuver’ and outlined Hamas’ intentions to encircle the community, specifying how many jeeps and motorbikes were to approach from each side.
One unit would take control of the eastern side of Kfar Sa’ad, while another held the western line.
The document orders the terrorists to ‘kill as many as possible’ and ‘take hostages’.
Other orders include surrounding a dining hall and holding hostages inside.
Surveillance camera footage shows terrorists apparently carrying out the plan.

The death toll from the kibbutz, home to 800 people just two kilometers from the Gaza border, is not yet known.
In neighboring Kfar Aza, home to another 800, initial estimates suggest more than 100 people have died.
IDF sources told NBC News that the terrorists had similarly detailed plans to attack other kibbutzim, with shocking specificity.
The officials said this shows they deliberately sought out families and children.
“The dental office, the supermarket, the dining hall,” an Israeli army source said.
“The level of specificity would make any person in the intelligence field’s jaw drop.”

One IDF official told NBC he was shocked by the detail in the planning and the goal of ensuring maximum civilian casualties.
“I’ve never seen this kind of detailed planning” for a mass terrorist attack, he said.

“There are men inside, be careful,” someone is heard shouting in Arabic in one of the videos, according to CNN.
“The fighters and the Mujahideen killed them.”

Shocking footage shows Hamas preparing an attempt to fire a rocket launcher grenade intended to fire into the Kfar Aza kibbutz amid their surprise attack that has so far killed 1,500 people.
‘What’s wrong with that, what’s the flaw?’ asked a Hamas member.
The clips show the Hamas fighters – armed with rifles and dressed in bulletproof vests – walking through the kibbutz, with gunshots ringing out in the background.
The bullet-riddled bodies of Israeli residents now lie on the grounds of the kibbutz among burnt-out houses, strewn furniture and burnt-out cars.
Solemn Israeli soldiers went from house to house to take away the many people who were killed there.
Israeli troops went from house to house to collect civilian bodies in body bags. They had not been able to take them before as they were still fighting armed men and working through bullies.
One soldier shouted: ‘Tell the world what you saw here.’
Soldiers were still securing the paths of the kibbutz, which had single-story houses with verandas, palm trees and banana plants, as volleys of gunfire and explosions could be heard in the distance.
“What the journalists saw today is a massacre: children, women and the elderly who were slaughtered,” said Nir Dinar, a spokesman for the Israeli Defense Forces.
“These are beasts, worse than Isis.”
He said the casualties numbered in “dozens”, adding “we are still counting”.

Israel’s military ordered hundreds of thousands of civilians living in Gaza City to evacuate on Friday ahead of a feared Israeli ground offensive.
The directive came on the heels of what the United Nations said was a warning it received from Israel evacuating 1.1 million people live in northern Gaza within 24 hours.
Suffering in Gaza has increased dramatically, with Palestinians desperate for food, fuel and medicine – and the territory’s only power plant shut down for lack of fuel.
The morgue at Gaza’s largest hospital was overflowing as bodies came in faster than family members could claim them.

The war has claimed at least 3,200 lives on both sides since Hamas launched an invasion on October 7.
