(Israel Hayom) Nadav Shragai - According to Hamas documents, Yahya Sinwar's plan included overrunning 221 southern Israeli communities and enlisting Iran and Hizbullah to conquer the Galilee and topple Tel Aviv's skyline. The Oct. 7 atrocities were merely a fraction of what was planned. Sinwar and Hamas's meticulously crafted strategy aimed at Israel's complete annihilation within two years. Sinwar saw the world in stark binary terms: Dar al-Islam, the areas under Islamic control, and Dar al-Harb, regions yet to be conquered. Sinwar's Hamas believed it had a divine mandate to wage war, expanding Dar al-Islam's frontiers "to the utmost limits." Israel's very existence was seen as an intolerable affront. It also represented a perversion of the natural order, where Jews dared to govern Muslims instead of being subservient under Islamic law. The Hamas charter unequivocally commits to the conquest of all Palestine as its ultimate objective. Their rallying cry of "from the river to the sea" is a clarion call for a world without Israel. The Oct. 7 atrocities represented merely the opening salvo in Sinwar's diabolical masterplan. He declared on Nov. 30, 2023, that the massacre was a "dress rehearsal" for the final, more devastating act to come. Sinwar's toxic ideology indoctrinated a significant portion of Gaza's population. Many Gazans actively participated in the Oct. 7 massacre and subsequent looting. The majority of Gaza's residents chose Sinwar and Hamas as their leaders, with hundreds of thousands entangled in Hamas's intricate web of terror. Gaza was transformed into a land singularly focused on the slaughter of Jews and, ultimately, the obliteration of Israel.
