Amid its determination to "end the existence of Hamas" in the Gaza Strip, even if the war extends for months, Israel has adopted unusual methods. The Israeli army has distributed sets of cards featuring images of prominent Hamas figures in a "psychological warfare designed to mock Hamas officials hiding in tunnels and disrupt their balance," as reported by "ynetnews".
Details reveal that Israeli forces recently distributed 10,000 sets of these cards to their soldiers in Gaza, with each set containing 52 images of "wanted" Hamas figures, including the movement's leader Yahya Sinwar and the head of its military wing, Mohammad Deif.
The initiative, whose origins are unclear, appears to have several interpretations and meanings, as these cards act as a tool for Israeli soldiers to identify the figures. It also indicates that Israel has drawn a "theoretical end to the war," where its main objective is to eliminate all Hamas leaders depicted, meaning they are known to Israel by face and name, or to capture them.
Additionally, this initiative aims to destabilize the balance of senior Hamas leaders hiding in tunnels by showcasing the Israeli army's determination to apprehend them, according to the report. The idea of compiling 52 senior Hamas figures in a single set of cards is accompanied by more significant legal actions being pursued by Israel, emphasizing international legal proceedings against them, especially since the cards highlight a "demotion" of some senior members of the movement.
