Israeli President Isaac Herzog said on Sunday that Hamas terrorists who took part in the October 7 massacre of southern Israeli towns received precise instructions to make deadly chemical weapons to use on civilians.
Herzog said that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) found a USB key on the body of one Hamas terrorist containing a PDF of al-Qaeda material that included instructions to behead babies and guides on how to take hostages and create improvised cyanide dispersion devices.
He further said that the al-Qaeda material found is evidence of “murderous patterns that testify to Hamas’s attempts to emulate ISIS.”
“This is official al-Qaeda material. We are dealing with al-Qaeda, ISIS, and Hamas,” the Israeli President further added in an interview with Sky News.
Herzog also said that claims that Israel had blocked all water, electricity, and fuel from entering the Gaza Strip are “part of the distorted information. “It was Hamas missiles which broke down electricity infrastructure in Gaza, nothing to do with us. We only supply 7% of the water [in Gaza], there is fuel for humanitarian needs, and it is under UNRWA.”
