A New York Times investigation, published on October 11th, 2025, has revealed a secret war document authored by Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in August 2022, detailing plans for brutal acts against Israeli civilians and soldiers, including burning neighborhoods and broadcasting atrocities. Intercepted communications from October 7th, 2023, show commanders echoing Sinwar's words, with one stating, "Burn, burn. I want the whole kibbutz to burn down," according to the report. Israeli forensic teams at the Abu Kabir Forensic Institute have completed preparations to confirm the identities of 28 hostage bodies expected to return to Israel as part of President Trump's plan to end the war in Gaza, as reported by the Jerusalem Post on October 11th, 2025. The New York Times investigation also highlights Hamas's efforts to broadcast its atrocities to the Arab world to incite fear and mobilize external support. An official within Hamas stated on October 11th, 2025, that "Hamas disintegration is unplugged," in reference to the second phase of the Trump program, according to Israel Hayom. This development follows previous reports indicating U.S. Air Force logistics aircraft landed at Ben Gurion Airport on October 11th, 2025, between 11:37 AM and 12:37 PM UTC, confirmed by CENTCOM commander U.S. Navy Admiral Brad Cooper, amidst a U.S.-brokered ceasefire.
