Hacker incursion into official Hamas television, which broadcast an appeal to civilians in the Gaza Strip. The TV channel “al Aqsa”, founded by Palestinian Legislative Council deputy Fathi Ahmad Hammad and the terrorist group’s official media was hacked on the afternoon of Thursday, October 12. A broadcast message invites residents of the Strip to go to shelters – “Hamas destroyed the Gaza Strip and moved its leaders to safe locations. Now you must protect yourself, evacuate your homes and go to safe places because the blow will be fatal ,” reads the message according to the Jerusalem Post.
Information warfare, as often happens in conflicts, is parallel to what occurs on the ground. “We are not afraid”, “Gaza is not a garden and it will cost them dearly”, are the words broadcast by Al-Jazeera satellite television from a member of the Hamas political cabinet, Ghazi Hamad, while the Israeli offensive against Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, following the attack launched by the group in Israel last Saturday. Another senior Hamas official, Ali Baraka, said in an October 8, 2023 interview broadcast on Russia Today TV that Hamas had been secretly planning the invasion of southern Israel for two years. Ali Baraka explained that this is the reason why Hamas did not join Palestinian Islamic Jihad in its previous round of fighting against Israel. The senior Hamas official in the interview said he informed allies from other Palestinian factions, Hezbollah, Iran, Turkey and Russia, only after the invasion began, and said that any prisoner exchange deal would have to involve Hamas prisoners in the United States. .
