The 5 Layers of the October 7th Attack - The Nationalist View Briefing

Miri outlines Hamas' five-layered strategy for the October 7th attack:

1. Underground Tunnels – Built over decades to ensure mobility and protection against the IDF during an inevitable ground invasion.
2. Urban Militarization – Embedding military equipment within civilian areas, using the Gaza population as human shields.
3. Hostage-Taking – Kidnapping Israeli civilians to fracture society and use them as bargaining chips.
4. Exploitation of UNRWA – Using the agency to achieve military goals and manipulate international perception against Israel.
5. Psychological Warfare – Filming the attack to terrorize Israeli society while falsely portraying Hamas as victims.

She further emphasizes that there is no moral equivalence between Hamas' civilian hostages and prisoners held by Israel, as Hamas' goal is to release terrorists with blood on their hands. Lastly, she condemns Hamas' "terror theater" during hostage exchanges, reinforcing their strategy of psychological warfare.
