Even when we made sure the money reached people in need, Hamas simply diverted other funds to build up its military power

“Even when we made sure the money reached people in need, Hamas simply diverted other funds to build up its military power,” said former IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi In a newly released recording. He described how Hamas constructed an elaborate mechanism of deception, founded upon the facade of seeking work permits, aid arrangements, and infrastructure projects. According to Halevi, the terror group convinced both Israeli and international actors that it was prioritizing civilian welfare and was uninterested in armed combat against Israel. “They managed to convince everyone — the mediators, our leadership, the army, intelligence, the Shin Bet, the Mossad,” the former IDF chief said. “During Guardian of the Walls, everything flipped for them,” Halevi noted. “We told ourselves it was a big success story and that lulled us to sleep.”
