IDF soldiers seized the personal journal of a Hamas commander from Beit Hanun in Gaza, N12 News reported on Sunday.

Terrorist Khaled Abu Akram’s diary entries prove how Hamas exploits civilian infrastructure in Gaza. For example, in one entry from May 2024, Akram writes about how he went to set up an ambush at a school after tunnels in the area were bombed.

"I went with Abu Saleh (a unit commander in a different company in the area) to set up a new ambush at the Al-Naim school after the tunnels in the area were bombed, and the previous ambush was destroyed,” he wrote.

Akram also described how Hamas used UN infrastructure in the Gaza Strip to its advantage.

"Additionally, we took the batteries from the UNRWA clinic, removed the solar panels, and prepared the water well," Abu Akram wrote in his diary.

IDF destroys Beit Hanun tunnel where three soldiers were killed 11 months ago

On Friday night, the IDF destroyed a tunnel complex where three members from the Kfir Brigade's 92nd Battalion were killed 11 months ago, the military said on Saturday.

Positioned east of the Yellow Line, near the Beit Hanun area of the Gaza Strip in an IDF-controlled region, the tunnel ran one kilometer wide and was dozens of meters deep, the army added.

The three IDF soldiers who were killed there nearly a year ago were Capt. Ilay Gavriel Atedgi, St.-Sgt. Netanel Pessach, and Sgt.-Maj. Hillel Diener. One other soldier was wounded in the incident.

Hamas stockpiling weapons in sympathetic countries despite Gaza disarmament deal

Hamas has started stockpiling weapons in African countries, Yemen, and other nations sympathetic to the terrorist organization, Israeli public broadcaster KAN News reported on Sunday.

The report follows the implementation of the US-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, which stipulates the disarmament of the latter.

According to KAN, the weapons are being stockpiled so that they can later be smuggled to locations, including the Gaza Strip, where Hamas can access them.
