An American website publishes a secret Israeli cable about Hamas and Gaza: chemical weapons!

The Israeli military announced that it had found a USB containing instructions for producing chemical weapons that was in the possession of a dead Hamas operative who participated in the October 7 attack.

The Axios website , quoting Israeli officials, in addition to reviewing a copy of the files presented by the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the American website, said that the soldiers found inside the “USB” instructions stating how to produce an improvised chemical weapon based on cyanide.

The American website stated that although it is not clear from the file whether Hamas is serious or whether it has an operational plan to use chemical weapons, the existence of the file may indicate that the movement was interested in knowing about the production of such a device.

Axios reported that the Non-Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction Department of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent a secret telegram on Thursday to Tel Aviv embassies in dozens of capitals around the world, including Washington, under the title “Hamas intends to use chemical weapons.”

The cable stated that the inspection conducted by Israeli intelligence showed that the source of the document was an Al-Qaeda guide from 2003 found on the Internet.

“This finding indicates Hamas’ intention to use chemical warfare agents as part of a range of its operations,” the cable said.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs ordered embassies to transfer the file with an English translation through diplomatic channels to foreign governments, and stressed not to publish the information publicly.

In the State Department's guidance to embassies, it was stated that foreign governments should be assured that Hamas is planning attacks in which weapons of mass destruction will be used, as ISIS has planned.

Axios explained that Israel has secretly and publicly shared many documents that it says it has found among the dead Hamas attackers since October 7, including information that provided more details about the movement’s planning.

Many of these documents, which Hamas classified as “top secret,” allegedly included operational plans to attack Israeli villages and military bases near the Gaza envelope.

Britain : More than 100,000 people participate in a march in support of Palestine in London

The British Metropolitan Police said in a statement on Saturday that 100,000 people participated in a march in support of Palestine in London.

The British newspaper "Daily Mail" reported that more than 100,000 people took to the streets of London on Saturday in defense of the rights of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, following the violent response to the "Al-Aqsa Flood" operation launched by Hamas against Israel on October 7.

It was reported that about 1,000 Metropolitan Police officers monitored events in the capital after a similar event last week that saw tens of thousands come out in solidarity with the Palestinians trapped in the Gaza Strip.

The British newspaper confirmed that the protests were peaceful, as large crowds waved Palestinian flags in the streets of central London, and participants chanted the slogan of Palestine from the river to the sea, violating police instructions prohibiting its chanting.

The Daily Mail indicated that the demonstrations in support of Palestine come at a time when British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly announced that he spoke with Israeli officials to remind them of their "duty to respect international law." 

The newspaper said that other marches took place in the United Kingdom on Saturday in support of the Palestinians, and multiple Palestinian flags were also seen at Anfield during the Liverpool-Everton match.

The Daily Mail explained that many photos from London documented a large security presence around the Israeli embassy, ​​including more than 20 police cars and dozens of riot control officers patrolling the streets.

The newspaper reported that large metal and concrete barriers were placed in front of the entrance to the embassy, ​​and officers were seen stacking riot shields inside the gates.
