In one of the most underreported revelations to come out of Israel this past week, documents captured by the IDF from Hamas headquarters—and traced directly to the desk of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar—have exposed just how deeply the terror organization monitored and exploited Israel’s internal protests before October 7, 2023.
The Hebrew press, led by i24NEWS, broke the story after classified Hamas intelligence assessments were leaked. These reports show Hamas meticulously tracked weekly anti-government demonstrations across Israel, especially noting the refusal of Israeli Air Force reserve pilots and other elite IDF units to report for duty.
The documents reveal that Hamas concluded Israeli society was “in chaos,” that the IDF’s operational strength was collapsing, and that the crisis in Israel’s unity presented the perfect opportunity for a major strike. According to these captured files, the number one motivator for Hamas’s October 7 attack was the perception of weakness caused by the protests themselves.
“Enemy’s Army Experiences a Crisis of Distrust”
One Hamas assessment dated July 25, 2023—two and a half months before the massacre—reads:
“The enemy’s army experiences a crisis of severe distrust among the Israeli armed forces and reserve officers, especially in the Israeli Air Force. This crisis has a negative effect on operational abilities. Since the uprising, rebellion will increase significantly. Likewise, the uprising affects readiness and willingness to deal with challenges at the front lines.”
The report specifically cited the “Brothers in Arms” movement—a group of reserve soldiers leading judicial reform protests—highlighting its threats that 10,000 reservists would refuse service. Hamas listed names, ranks, units, and the extent of refusals. The terror group noted how the Israeli Chief of Staff and Air Force commander publicly acknowledged concern over the military’s fractured state.
Hamas’s conclusion: Israel was vulnerable, divided, and ripe for a devastating assault.
From Protests to Massacre
These revelations confirm a chilling truth: Hamas didn’t just see October 7 as an act of terror against Israel—it viewed it as a strategic exploitation of Israeli democracy turned against itself.
The same organized protests that opposition politicians and international media celebrated as “democracy in action” were, in the eyes of Hamas, the single biggest factor encouraging war.
Yet today’s renewed protests in Israel—now rebranded as “hostage marches”—are repeating the same destabilizing pattern. They risk weakening the IDF in the middle of a ground war in Gaza and embolden Hamas to drag out negotiations, making the safe return of hostages even more impossible.
The International Left and Hamas: A Shared Playbook
The implications stretch far beyond Israel. The protests Hamas studied so closely resemble the tactics of modern “color revolutions”—mass mobilizations designed to delegitimize governments, weaken institutions, and trigger regime change.
While classic color revolutions targeted post-Soviet states in the 2000s, their contemporary version has been weaponized by communist and neo-Marxist networks across the West. From Occupy Wall Street to Black Lives Matter, to Code Pink and coordinated anti-war campaigns, the playbook is the same:
- Mass protests driven by a triggering event.
- A symbolic identity (flags, slogans, raised fists).
- International funding, media amplification, and NGO support.
- Systematic delegitimization of the justice and security systems.
- Demands for sweeping structural transformation—not reform, but revolution.
Hamas, backed by Iran, clearly recognized the value of this chaos inside Israel. The newly leaked documents confirm what analysts like Stephen Coughlin have long argued: there is a nexus between international leftist protest movements and Islamist jihad, both united by their goal of destabilizing and ultimately collapsing Western republics.
Why This Matters
This story has been buried in the English-language press for obvious reasons. It destroys the preferred narrative sold to us by international elites, opposition politicians, and media who back the toppling of Israel’s government and demand an immediate end to the war (effectively surrender to Hamas).
The truth is now clear:
- Hamas itself admits the protests emboldened and enabled October 7.
- International leftist movements are actively aligned—whether knowingly or not—with Islamist objectives.
- What happened in Israel is a warning to the West. Color revolution tactics and Islamist terror are no longer parallel threats—they are interlinked.
The October 7 massacre wasn’t just the bloodiest terror attack in Israel’s history. It was the successful exploitation of a divided society by enemies who knew exactly how to turn protest movements into a weapon of war.
