'Shoot the Jews': Two years after Sinwar's death, IDF releases letter from Sinwar's 10-year-old son
The letter, featuring drawings of tanks, missiles, and a Spider-Man sticker, was recovered by IDF soldiers in the Gaza Strip in 2024.
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.
