A Hamas commander, Mustafa Alkhair, disclosed to Israeli forces that the terror group employs children for delivering explosives and identifying IDF tanks. Alkhair, from Hamas’ Zeitun Battalion, admitted that they utilize their own children as a defensive measure in the ongoing conflict in Gaza. In an interrogation on December 8, he revealed that the group deploys children to safeguard their interests, even if it involves putting the children’s lives at risk. The tactic involves using trusted children to gather intelligence on the presence of IDF forces in the area.
