Leaked Israeli Plan, Intelligence Warnings, and Gaza Starvation: A Strategy Years in the Making?

A leaked Israeli Intelligence Ministry document dated October 13, 2023, just six days after the Hamas-led October 7 attacks, has drawn renewed scrutiny amid a deepening humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza. The paper outlines “Option C,” a detailed three-phase plan to forcibly relocate Gaza’s entire civilian population to Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula via tent cities, a humanitarian corridor, and permanent resettlement zones.

Experts now argue that this was not a reactive policy to the October 7 events but rather a pre-existing strategy that the attacks were used to justify and implement. The plan's speed of release and level of detail—maps, timelines, and infrastructure logistics—point strongly to months of prior preparation, not a six-day wartime scramble.


???? Foreknowledge of October 7: Ignored Warnings Raise Alarm

Evidence uncovered by independent investigators and Israeli media shows that Israeli intelligence had advance warnings of a large-scale Hamas operation:

  • A detailed Hamas battle plan, dubbed the “Jericho Wall,” had been circulating in military channels a year before the attack. It accurately described paragliders, drone strikes, and mass infiltration—all of which were used on October 7.

  • Israeli military analysts from the IDF’s Devil’s Advocate Unit repeatedly warned in the summer and fall of 2023 that Hamas was rehearsing for a major cross-border raid. Their alerts were dismissed.

  • In the 24 hours before the attack, multiple anomalies were flagged, including the activation of Hamas-linked Israeli SIM cards. These red flags were noted—but not acted upon.

  • Female border lookouts warned of attack drills targeting Israeli kibbutzim weeks earlier. Their reports, too, were ignored.

The failure to act on this intelligence—despite overwhelming evidence—has fueled claims that Israeli leadership may have allowed the October 7 attack to proceed or escalate, in order to create the political and military conditions necessary to implement Option C.


????️ Option C: A Plan Triggered by War

 

Option         Description
A                  Reinstate Palestinian Authority control in Gaza — rejected as too risky and ineffective
B                  Support a new local Arab governance in Gaza — also dismissed as unviable
C (Preferred) Full transfer of Gaza’s civilian population to Sinai, via staged relocation and resettlement—viewed as most strategic by the authors


  Option C as laid out in the Israeli Ministry of Intelligence’s policy paper titled “Policy Paper: Options for a Policy Regarding Gaza’s Civilian Population”, dated October 13, 2023.
   
While not officially adopted by the Israeli cabinet, Option C aligns closely with real-time actions on the ground, and more importantly, appears pre-loaded to follow a large-scale escalation like October 7.

The document outlines:

  • Immediate relocation of civilians to tent camps in Sinai

  • Construction of a “humanitarian corridor” from Gaza to Egypt

  • Long-term population transfer under the guise of emergency response

This plan—leaked just days after the Hamas assault—appears to have been waiting for a pretext. October 7 provided that: a brutal, media-saturated event that shocked the Israeli public, dismantled any peace framework, and silenced international hesitation—opening the door to strategic policies that would otherwise have been politically or diplomatically unacceptable.


⚠️ Starvation as Execution of the Plan

In parallel, Israel has waged what humanitarian organizations describe as a campaign of systematic deprivation. As of July 2025:

  • Over 470,000 people in Gaza are facing catastrophic hunger (IPC Phase 5)

  • An estimated 1,000+ people are dying every day, many from starvation, disease, or dehydration

  • Food systems, water supplies, hospitals, and humanitarian routes have been bombed or blocked

While no official announcement has been made regarding Option C, the conditions it calls for are being engineered:

  • Southern Gaza is now a collapsed containment zone

  • Egypt has been pressured to prepare for “emergency migration” scenarios

  • Aid is restricted to unsustainable levels

  • Hunger is forcing displacement

Legal experts, UN officials, and human rights groups warn that starvation is being used as a tool of war—not to destroy Hamas, but to make Gaza uninhabitable for civilians, paving the way for permanent population removal.


⚖️ International Legal Consequences

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) is reviewing a genocide case filed by South Africa, arguing that Israel has inflicted “conditions of life calculated to bring about the physical destruction” of Palestinians in Gaza—a key threshold in the Genocide Convention. The court has already found the charge plausible and ordered Israel to take preventive action.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) is simultaneously investigating whether starvation and forced displacement amount to crimes against humanity.


???? Conclusion

The October 7 Hamas attacks were horrific—but the growing body of evidence suggests they may have also been politically instrumentalized by Israeli leadership. Intelligence forewarnings were ignored. A mass civilian displacement plan was ready. A starvation campaign was launched. And Gaza’s population is now being decimated.

Option C was not merely a policy on paper—it appears to be a strategy already in motion.
