Documents exclusively obtained by NBC News show that Hamas created detailed plans to target elementary schools and a youth center in the Israeli kibbutz of Kfar Sa'ad, to 'kill as many people as possible,' seize hostages and quickly move them into the Gaza Strip. The attack plans, which are labeled 'top secret' in Arabic, appear to be orders for two highly trained Hamas units to surround and infiltrate villages and target places where civilians, including children, gather.
The Israeli officials said that the wider group of documents show that Hamas had been systematically gathering intelligence on each kibbutz bordering Gaza, demonstrating specific plans of attack for each of the villages and including instructions for the intentional targeting of women and children. 'The dental office, the supermarket, the dining hall,' an Israel Defense Forces source said. 'The level of specificity would cause anyone in the intelligence field's jaw to drop.
