Newly revealed Hamas documents, captured by Israeli forces, show that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar planned for Hezbollah to launch a full-scale invasion of the Galilee on October 7, 2023, expecting the Radwan force to join the assault. The files expose years of Hamas-Hezbollah-Iran coordination, a joint intelligence war room in Beirut, and Sinwar's realization that Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah was not fully committing to his plan, according to the documents.
A new document trove captured by the IDF and released overnight reveals the depth of coordination between Hamas and Hezbollah in the lead-up to the October 7, 2023, massacre. The documents, reported by a single outlet citing intelligence sources, show that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar expected Hezbollah to launch a simultaneous full-scale ground invasion of the Galilee using the elite Radwan force. According to the files, Sinwar believed the multi-front plan would overwhelm Israeli defenses. The material details a joint intelligence war room in Beirut run by Hamas, Hezbollah, and the IRGC, and a moment late in the planning when Sinwar understood Nasrallah was not committing the full invasion. This is the same document cache that earlier reports indicated contained Sinwar's 2022 proposal to Nasrallah for a multi-front attack and its original target date of Passover 2023 (as The Zioneer reported on July 5). The current report adds the specific expectation of a Radwan northern invasion on October 7 itself. The documents' full origin and chain of custody have not been independently published, and the report is attributed to a single analyst's new findings, not an official Israeli release. The material confirms what several context articles have described as years of strategic alignment between the two Iran-backed groups.
