Hamas Terror Tunnel Training Children, How Hamas Arms Children for Terrorism

Terror tunnel training.

“Children receive military training from a young age, both theoretical and practical.”

Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) presented previously unseen images on Wednesday, shedding light on how terrorist organizations, primarily Hamas and Islamic Jihad, exploit children in the Gaza Strip for military activities and indoctrinate them with hatred towards Israel and Jews.

The IDF statement emphasized that children in Gaza are subjected to early education in animosity, both in schools and through youth movements and camps.

“Children receive military training from a young age, both theoretical and practical,” the IDF statement noted. Even during times of relative calm, Hamas organizes summer camps where children are taught various military skills, including shooting guns, navigating tunnels, confronting tanks, and even engaging in simulated soldier kidnappings. These camps serve as initial training grounds for the military wing of Hamas.

IDF reports:

Terrorism is not innate, it is learned.

In schools, youth movements and summer camps, Gazan children are taught the killing of Jews and Israelis is justified, incited toward terrorism and trained to fight in tunnels, shoot and kidnap.

During the ongoing war, Hamas has positioned children on the frontlines, sending them to deliver messages and ammunition while its operatives hide in shelters.

One tactic outlined in the IDF’s findings involves hiding explosives within bags of vegetables carried by children.

The belief is that the IDF would avoid targeting children, inadvertently turning them into unwitting carriers of dangerous payloads. Additionally, children are dispatched into combat zones after attacks to assess damage and relay information to terrorists hiding in shelters.

IDF Video Reveals Palestinian Kids in Hamas Training Before Military Conflict

By: The Citizen:
In a press release, the IDF unveiled a video showcasing children in a Hamas training facility simulating tunnel activities. The IDF accuses Hamas of actively fostering hatred toward Israel and Jews among Gaza’s youth. The children allegedly undergo both theoretical and practical military training, with summer camps playing a significant role in their militarization. Hamas-run summer camps purportedly include weapon training, tunnel assaults, anti-tank combat, and even simulated soldier kidnappings. According to the IDF, this early exposure serves as a foundational step towards involvement in the Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Even during times of conflict, the IDF claims Hamas exploits minors for tasks like message delivery and transporting ammunition. The IDF points to previous revelations, indicating the use of children to transport explosives, often under the guise of everyday items. Additionally, children are allegedly sent to assess damage after attacks, reporting back to Hamas members in hiding. The IDF’s disclosure sheds light on the alleged systematic exploitation and militarization of children by Hamas, prompting international concerns about the impact on the region’s youth and the perpetuation of conflict.
