HAMAS planned a giant large-scale assault inside Israel which included a 9/11-style terror attack on skyscrapers in Tel Aviv.
Bombshell documents recovered by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) reportedly revealed Hamas’ top brass was looking to inflict “an unprecedented crisis” akin to the September 11 attacks.

IDF forces discovered the digital and paper records from Hamas command centres in Gaza last November, according to the Washington Post.
The terrifying documents – made up of 36 pages – reportedly showed plans for a number of strategic attacks from the terror group.
The plans were all drawn up prior to the October 7 massacre which documents revealed was given the code name “The Big Project”.
A worrying 17,000 images were also said to be included in the database of evidence believed to be made around September 2022.
Among which were pictures of Israeli air bases, public airports and various busy transport and shopping hubs.
Many of the sinister plots appeared to involve hijacking trains, boats, and even horse-drawn chariots equipped with explosives.
The bombshell documents revealed that Hamas plotted to attack prominent skyscrapers in Tel Aviv, such as the 68-storey Moshe Aviv Tower in Ramat Gan.
Another key target was the Azrieli Towers complex – three towering skyscrapers often packed out with tourists and locals due to there being a large shopping mall, a train station and a cinema inside.
The trio of towers – all with over 40 floors – have underground car parks beneath them.
Pages from the document says cells would “boobytrap the cars with a quantity of explosives that could blow up the towers”.
The bombs would have not only downed the towers but also destroyed the Israeli defence ministry headquarters which sit next to them.
The harrowing plans were sat alongside a chilling statement saying: “If this tower is destroyed in one way or another, an unprecedented crisis will occur for the enemy.
“Similar to the crisis of the World Trade Center towers in New York.”
It is unclear on the exact method set to be used to carry out the attacks with a note next to the plans reportedly reading “working to find a mechanism to destroy the tower“.
Another terror blueprint foiled included a Hamas strike on Israel’s rail network.
The documents laid out a plan to send droves of fighters on various trains carrying powerful explosives.
One page read: “The railway line is designated for transporting fuel, which is a weak point in the event of a train explosion after moving inside one of the cities (a moving bomb).”
A similar sinister ploy would have seen Hamas operatives hijack boats and chariots and transform them into attack vessels equipped with explosives.

The target of the boats would have reportedly been Israeli ports.
The bizarre chariot method would have seen terrorists riding in horse drawn carts transporting weapons across major Israeli cities.
Pictures and text showed modern versions of three-person chariots specially built to handle rough terrain at speed and in-built with a quiet engine.
The potential attack plans were all included in the Arabic document, titled “strategy to build an appropriate plan to Liberate Palestine”.
Israel believe the documents show Hamas originally plotted a three stage attack through various different methods.
They later decided that a smaller and more contained attack would be the best option with the October 7 attacks being drawn up shortly after, it is claimed.
A rocket barrage was followed by a few thousand militants storming across the Israel-Gaza border on the fateful day over a year ago.
Over 1,200 people were slaughtered – many at a music festival – as hundreds more were taken as hostages and dragged into Gaza.
Israel hit back with months of daily bombardments, planned invasions and secure strikes on Hamas infrastructure and fighters.
How Hamas’ Oct 7 bloodbath plot eluded Israeli spies & sparked year of bloodshed
By Ellie Doughty, Foreign News Reporter
HAMAS’ horror October 7 massacre plot escaped Israeli spies in a catastrophic security failure that sparked a year of unprecedented chaos, experts say.
It was the catalyst that plunged four nations – Israel, Palestine, Lebanon and Iran – into war, killing tens of thousands and marking a historic shift in the Middle East.
Experts have branded the spiralling situation in the Middle East as “one of the biggest human rights crises in the world right now” – triggered by the October 7 atrocity.
Bruce Riedel, who spent 30 years in the CIA including a stint in Israel at the Tel Aviv embassy, said Israel is now “fighting a war on multiple fronts”.
“We’ve never seen anything like this in Israeli history,” he said.
Since October 7, Israel’s archenemy Iran has used its terror proxies to do its dirty work.
Hezbollah has fired rockets from Lebanon in solidarity with Hamas, while the Houthis in Yemen have terrorised the Red Sea by attacking any ships they deem to be connected with Israel.
Israel is also still razing much of Gaza as its troops look to wipe out Hamas and rescue hostages still being held by Hamas thugs a year on.
Another front has also opened in Lebanon after Israeli troops and tanks poured over the border on a mission to wipe out Hezbollah’s war machine.
It comes as more secret documents have exposed how Hamas plotted to get Iran to launch strikes on Israel on October 7.
Minutes of the terror group’s secret meetings have been obtained by the New York Times and show its leader trying to persuade the Islamic Republic to join it.
The documents reveal Hamas sought to deceive Israel and draw it into a wider regional war which its leader, Yahya Sinwar, thought would destroy it.
Months before the terror attack, Hamas officials met a senior Iranian commander in Lebanon and requested help with striking sensitive sites at the start of the assault.
The Iranian commander said it supported helping in principle, but needed more time to prepare.
Iran ultimately did not strike Israel as part of the October 7 terror attack, but did so in April and October of this year.
The documents were discovered on a computer found in January by IDF soldiers as they searched an underground Hamas command centre.
Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, has denied Iran had any role in the October 7 terror attack.
But in the 12 months since, Iran and Israel have become embroiled in a bitter feud with Iranian proxy Hezbollah vowing war with Benjamin Netanyahu’s troops.
Israel launched an invasion into Lebanon in the last few weeks to seek and destroy Hezbollah infrastructure.
It followed constant cross border attacks on both sides with repeated missile strikes decimating both groups.
The Middle East was then left teetering on the brink of all-out war when Iran claimed it was defending its proxy by launching 181-missiles into Israel.
Israeli PM Netanyahu has vowed Tehran “will pay” for making a “big mistake”.
