Hamas Seeks ‘Paper Dome’ To Intercept IDF Leaflets Warning Gazans Away From Targets

“They’re also dropping flyers offering generous financial rewards for information on the hostages we took.”

Gaza City, November 1 – Leaders of the Islamist terrorist organization that governs this coastal territory have begun research into methods that might prevent Israeli-dropped flyers, telling the residents of target areas to leave and thus save themselves, from reaching the target areas, lest those residents heed the flyers and deprive the terrorists of the human shields and propaganda-bonanza civilian casualties the movement needs to conduct its war against Israel.

Outgunned and with severely limited capacity to conduct a sustained war, Hamas has staked its success on the cognitive, rather than the military, aspect of the conflict. In previous rounds of Israel-Hamas violence in and from the Gaza Strip, mounting Palestinian civilian casualties – both real and imagined – and images of destruction from Israeli aerial bombing to neutralize Hamas’s capacity to launch missiles into Israeli towns generated intense international and domestic pressure on the Jewish State to cease operations short of any effective neutralization or deterrence.

As in previous rounds, this time Israel sent text messages, made phone calls, and dropped flyers into areas of Gaza where they intended to strike, warning civilians to stay away from the Hamas positions embedded deep among those civilian locales. The Iran-backed militia has set up roadblocks, confiscated car keys, and detonated car bombs to prevent Gazans from fleeing the target areas, with some success; nevertheless, Hamas would prefer to prevent the warnings from reaching Gaza residents in the first place, and have launched an initiative to develop a counter-technology.

“Israel has the Iron Dome,” explained one Hamas official. “It has other interceptor systems for other kids of threats. It will soon bring to bear a laser to do that same, and it mounts similar systems on tanks, for example. We do not need to develop anything to intercept weapons – the more Gazans die, the better, since dead Gazans are our chief weapon – but to intercept the hundreds of thousands of flyers. It will take some time.”

“It’s not only the warning flyers,” added a militant manning a checkpoint and firing at a family in a minivan that was attempting to escape the impending carnage. “They’re also dropping flyers offering generous financial rewards for information on the hostages we took on October 7. I’m as patriotic as the next guy, but I know this place has been in dire economic straits ever since Israel left in 2005, and those rewards could make a big different to a lot of people. We need to intercept those flyers as well, for obvious reasons.”
