Documents obtained exclusively by NBC News reveal that Hamas made elaborate plans for an attack against an elementary school and youth center in Israel’s Kfar Sa’ad kibbutz with the aim of “causing as many casualties as possible”, taking hostages and quickly moving them to the strip Gases.
The plans, which are labeled “top secret” and written in Arabic, appear to be orders for two highly trained Hamas units to surround and infiltrate the village and target areas where civilians, including children, were congregating. Israeli authorities are still determining the final death toll in Kfar Sa’ad.
These documents were found on the bodies of Hamas terrorists by Israeli rescuers and then shared with NBC News. They contain detailed maps and clearly show that Hamas planned to either kill or capture civilians and school children.

One of the pages marked “Top Secret” presents a plan to attack Kfar Sa’ad, where “Combat Unit 1” is to hold off the new Da’at school, while “Combat Unit 2” is to collect hostages and search the Bnei Akiva youth center and the old school Da’at.
Another page labeled “Top Secret Maneuver” describes a plan by a Hamas unit to secure the eastern side of Kfar Sa’ad while another unit controls the west. The plan says to “kill as many people as possible” and “take hostages”. Other orders include surrounding the mess hall and holding hostages inside.
This detailed plan for the attack on Kfar Sa’ad is part of a wide range of documents that Israeli officials are analyzing, according to an Israeli military and government source. Surveillance video from Oct. 7 shows Hamas terrorists entering the kibbutz and using tactics similar to those described in documents provided to NBC News.
Israeli officials say a broader set of documents shows that Hamas systematically gathered intelligence on every kibbutz bordering Gaza and created specific attack plans for each village, which included the deliberate targeting of women and children.

Discovered Hamas documents contain plans for attacks that included targeting ordinary citizens, including children. Hamas’ claims that it does not kill children thus contradict these plans. Videos of Hamas terrorists holding and feeding Israeli children hostage have also been released.
Kibbutz Kfar Aza was one of the hardest hit places during the unprecedented terrorist attack on Saturday 7 October. Maps obtained from Hamas show that they included plans to attack several villages on the Israeli side of the border with Gaza, including Kfar Sa’ad, Kfar Aza, Nahal Oz and Alumim. These plans were part of coordinated attacks to target civilians. Israeli officials and witnesses describe the horror and tragedy associated with this massacre.
The documents further show that two Hamas units had plans to attack Kfar Sa’ad. Each group was specified the numbers and types of vehicles they were to use, and how the vehicles were to travel to the village was determined. The plan also included the length of the convoy and the division of motorcycle groups. According to an Israeli official, the planning of this terrorist attack was extremely detailed and targeted as many civilian casualties as possible.
