Plan for Kidnapping the Prisoners:
- The collection stage:
- The first stage:
- Collection of the prisoners at a number of locations, each group in the area of its activity, which were shown in advance on the maps.
- Time to begin the collection—when each group completes the cleansing of the area of its activity.
- The second stage:
- Assembling all the prisoners at one location or two locations (to be decided on the ground)
- Time to begin the assembling—immediately after the end of the last stage of the cleansing
- The first stage:
- Confinement and control within the location and its vicinity:
- Killing of any person who may constitute a threat or a distraction/disturbance.
- Creating chaos by use of shooting, sound/stun grenades, threats, electric shocks, violence, and inducing terror. Killing in the worst case.
- Individual binding of each prisoner, collective binding, strict blindfolding.
- Closing of the entry and exit points of the location and its vicinity.
- Car bombs.
- Explosive devices (external/personal [belt]).
- Sniping.
- Ambushes in the vicinity.
- Rapid performance of the actions.
- Division of the tasks (performance, discourse [with the prisoners], search, ambushes, inventories, publicity, logistics, emergency/first aid).
- Use of methods for calming [of the prisoners].
- Safety:
- Search of the captives.
- Taking identity documents and details.
- Distancing the prisoners from means of fighting and means of suicide.
- Binding and blindfolding.
- [crossed out in original]
- Killing of the problematic individuals and those who constitute a threat.
- Securing the movement of the people beyond the covering of windows and doors.
- Fortification and ongoing improvement of fortification.
- Assembling some of the prisoners at the location and using them as artillery fodder provided they are seen clearly.
- Supply:
- Assembling food and drink if possible.
- Organizing the food and drink + commodities + lighting + first aid.
- Do not use your supply to feed the prisoners except in an emergency situation.
- Camouflage and hiding:
- Do not announce the quantity of the prisoners and their weapons.
- Do not announce any connection with the outside world.
- Concealing the location of captivity/imprisonment.
- Concealing the method of guarding and shifts.
- Setting fire to a large number of locations.
- Covering the doors and the entrances.
- Do not announce the quantity of wounded and killed [among the prisoners].
- Show strength and do not show weakness or fear.
- Communication:
- Ensuring communication security to the extent possible.
- Providing (cellular) communication from the local sources (presumably, connect to the Israeli network).
- Avoiding wireless communication in the open space.
- Wired authentication of the communication network to create a private communication network to the extent possible.
- Ensuring that the radio readings explain the developments to the general leadership.
- Securing the live/filmed broadcasts between the groups and the field commands.
- Publicity:
- Live broadcast.
- Directly conveying the picture with the local communication technology and other authentication.
- Do not waste battery and camera storage and use them as much as possible.
- Negotiations:
- To be conducted by the political-negotiation administration on behalf of the leadership and staff of the movement.
- As much as possible, refrain from cooperating with negotiations in the field.
- Whoever communicates with the enemy must have the senior rank in the field and must remain in communication with his commanders throughout the event.
- If the communication is interrupted we will strive to converse and to mediate the task that we came for.
- Emergency situations:
- The wounded: allotment of a place for treating the wounded.
- The dead: allotment of a place for their burial, marking of the place of their burial and moving them after the retreat of the Israeli forces.
- Enemy attacks—activating ambushes and beginning of the killing of the prisoners.
- Prisoner revolt—use of shooting, stun grenades, threats of killing, violence, and inducing of terror in cooperation. Killing in the worst case.
Torture and ISIS style live-streamed executions – just some of the barbaric instructions on how to kidnap and kill listed in the Hamas terror handbook.
