    The documents were found on the bodies of Hamas terrorists by Israeli first responders and shared with NBC News.

    Those documents - one, two - are remarkably unspoiled for what they supposedly went through: printed and distributed by a leader, handed over to the terrorists, reviewed (probably multiple times), stuck in a backpack or pocket, brought into an Israeli area, maybe referred to while there, in at least one firefight / battle, recovered from the bodies, passed around by Israeli first responders, then handed over to NBC.

    All that, and not a speck of dirt or drop of blood? And the terrorists must have handled them very gently, because aside from one bent-over corner, there isn’t a single crease to be seen - not even the corner where the plans were stapled together has been flattened, just gently held open. Remarkably pristine, those Hamas terrorists, even during infiltration, battle, and death.

        yeah nobody gives a shit about keeping secrets secret, you must be new to… reality. of course they’re going to bring a map with them—if anybody tried telling them not to, they’re dumbasses.

          You wouldn’t be a dumbass for telling them not to carry the pages that instruct them to cause causalities, or to take hostages, or to commit any crimes, or ones that tell them how many vehicles they have and their types, etc.

      If the Israelis were faking these documents, why didn’t they add some dust and creases?

      These look just like a printout I kept in my side pocket all day.

        In your everyday activities, are you running, crouching, pressing yourself against the side of a building, maybe lying down? Are you routinely flinging yourself out of the line of fire? It’s 80°F in Israel today, they’ve been running and fighting, probably had to look at the map once or twice and yet there’s no sign of sweaty fingers that have handled the documents? I’m sure they stopped in the middle of their infiltration, too, to wash their hands.

          This might’ve been a guy who got shot shortly after sneaking across the border in the wee hours of the morning. There’s no reason to assume this is one of the attackers who spend the day fighting the IDF.

      You seem to be implying you think this is faked because it doesn’t comply with how you expect the documents to look. It took you less than a couple hours since this was posted to think this conspiracy theory up. If these documents were faked, don’t you think the Israeli intelligence community would also have considered the same issues you raised and properly dirtied them to make sure they had the necessary dirt and blood to meet your specific definition of ‘authentic’? The ultimate implication here is that you think you have thunk up a gotcha in a few hours that Israeli Intelligence were incapable of thinking up. That’s very arrogant.
