The documents, complete with diagrams, were shown to Sky News by President Herzog in an exclusive interview. He said they were 'official al Qaeda material' that showed how to build a weapon with cyanide.
Hamas fighters who broke into Israel were carrying instructions on how to make chemical weapons, according to Israeli President Isaac Herzog. Israeli forces claim they discovered the material on the body of a dead fighter in Kibbutz Be'eri, where an estimated 20% of the 1,100 residents were killed or kidnapped. The documents, complete with diagrams, were shown to Sky News by President Herzog in an exclusive interview on Sunday evening. Sky News is unable to independently verify the claims.
' Mr Herzog dismissed accusations that Israel's bombing of Gaza is having a disproportionate effect on civilians and argued that Israel has no choice but to eliminate Hamas. 'It's not true. We have realistic objectives. We say we want to wipe out the military infrastructure of Hamas. We've said it clearly. We are cautious. Already two weeks have gone by, and we haven't operated on the ground because we are cautious.
