The Jerusalem Post reports on newly revealed documents indicating that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar believed Israel might use nuclear weapons in response to the October 7 attack. According to the report, Sinwar acknowledged the risk but did not abandon his 'messianic vision,' describing the conflict as a 'battle of life or death.'
The documents add to a growing body of captured Hamas material. As The Zioneer reported earlier on Monday, Sinwar penned a handwritten document one year before the October 7 assault, the contents of which remain undisclosed. Last week, The Zioneer reported on captured Hamas files showing Sinwar had planned for Hezbollah to launch a full-scale invasion of the Galilee on October 7, exposing years of coordination between Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran.
The nuclear concern is a new dimension in Sinwar's strategic thinking revealed by the documents. The report is attributed to The Jerusalem Post, and the source material has not been independently verified.
