Israeli Occupation claims Hamas planned October 7 operation since 2016

Channel 12 reported that documents obtained by the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) indicate that Hamas had been planning October 7's Operation Aqsa Typhoon since 2016.

The reports claim that the IOF discovered "target banks" on Hamas computers, which contained detailed information about every town in the Gaza border area, suggesting premeditated planning for the assault.

The channel further revealed that the documents included meticulous records of activities at critical locations in southern "Israel", such as meetings between local council leaders and security officials, demonstrating Hamas's extensive knowledge of security movements.

In a further indication of the scale of breaches, Channel 12 also reported that the IOF found evidence that Hamas had been hacking into the computers of security personnel, acquiring their names and phone numbers.
