Single source · Gaza Strip, Palestine (approximate) ·
The IDF says it published an internal Hamas document, dated April 2024 in the IDF's own Telegram statement, describing plans to plant explosive devices near displaced-person camps in the Gaza Strip and detonate them as IDF troops approached. The Times of Israel and The Jerusalem Post relay the same IDF account, and no independent source in the claims confirms the document's contents. Two Katz statements in the feed concern a separate Gaza operation and disarmament, not this document.

Verification
Single source: 1 independent source.
Sources disagree on:
- No source disputes that the IDF made this claim; the differences are in detail only.
- Timing: IDF Telegram post at 09:02Z, Times of Israel relay at 09:19Z, JPost via Google News at 09:53Z, JPost article at 10:22Z.
- Motive: the JPost article (article-912153) says the plan was to create panic so operatives could flee, a motive the IDF Telegram post and the Times of Israel item do not state.
- Dating: only the IDF statement gives April 2024 as the date the document was written.
- Location wording: JPost article says 'Gaza refugee camps', while other items say 'displaced persons camps in the Gaza Strip'.
- Katz claims (@ME_Observer_ posts) about an imminent operation and disarmament are a different statement and do not address the document.
