In letter said written by Sinwar’s son, 10-year-old expresses desire to ‘shoot Jews’
Publishing document to mark two years since troops killed Hamas chief, IDF says it demonstrates how Sinwar imbued his children with 'murderous ideology'
On the second anniversary of Yahya Sinwar's death, the IDF released a letter authored by Sinwar's 10-year-old son, Ibrahim, written at the outset of the Gaza war. In the letter, the child expressed his desire to wield a Kalashnikov firearm and "shoot the Jews." The letter, discovered by IDF soldiers in Gaza in 2024, was addressed to Ibrahim's father and adorned with a Spider-Man sticker in its lower-left corner.
Alongside his words and drawings of weapons, tanks, and missiles, Ibrahim also sketched out his wish to grow up, hold a Kalashnikov, and engage in violence against Jews. He even detailed his pastime of crafting pistols, tanks, and Kalashnikovs from paper and cardboard. Ibrahim's letter conveyed his longing to spend time with his father, express his desire for peace, and implore the Lord for protection.
The IDF highlighted the letter as evidence that Sinwar's murderous ideology permeated his children's upbringing, underscoring the influence of Hamas' values of hostility and violence on the younger generation in Gaza.
