Israel: Mother of Hamas captive speaks after release of footage<\/h3>\n

A hostage-taking manual was found on the bodies of\u00a0Hamas gunmen, which instructs them to \u2018kill the problematic ones\u2019 and create \u2018violence and terrorism.\u2019<\/p>\n

The eight-page manual is a \u2018how to\u2019 guide for militant squads who stormed Israeli settlements and killed and abducted civilians.<\/p>\n

The directions found in the manual urge the terrorists to \u2018create chaos,\u2019 with chapters on \u2018isolation and control\u2019 and \u2018camouflage and hiding.\u2019<\/p>\n

The document also seems to suggest the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel may not have gone according to plan, showing that the terrorists were not supposed to take hostages all the way back to Gaza.<\/p>\n

Over 200 innocent civilians were taken as hostages, with the purpose of keeping them as \u2018human shields.\u2019<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

At least 1,400 people have died and over 4,000 more have been injured in Israel, according to Israeli authorities.<\/p>\n

Half the hostages taken came from one settlement, Nir Oz kibbutz, where one in four of the population was taken.<\/p>\n

The hostage manual was found on bodies of Hamas fighters and released by the Israeli government.<\/p>\n

The guide instructs Hamas members to complete their \u2018cleansing\u2019 operation then \u2018gather the hostages in several places\u2026in operating areas pre-determined on the maps.\u2019<\/p>\n

The manual tells them to \u2018kill anyone that may pose a threat or cause a distraction or disturbance\u2019 and \u2018create chaos using firearms, smoke\/stun grenades, violence and terrorism.\u2019<\/p>\n

Hostages that were toddlers or elderly were to have their ankles or wrists bound, while other fighters guarded entrances and exits.<\/p>\n

Written in Arabic and translated by the Israeli government, the manual states: \u201cKill the problematic ones and those who post a threat.\u201d<\/p>\n

The other hostages were to be bound and blindfolded, then \u2018reassured.\u2019 They used \u2018electric shocks\u2019 to force compliance.<\/p>\n

Militants were also told not to use their own food and water to feed the hostages.<\/p>\n
