Israeli Initiative Offers Rewards for Information Leading to Key Figures of the Hamas Movement
Watan-Palestinian activists mockingly responded to leaflets dropped by Israeli forces in Gaza, offering financial rewards in exchange for information about Hamas leaders. They viewed these messages as desperate and evidence of failure following Israel’s inability to achieve its goals in the brutal war, which lasted for about 70 days, involving killings, displacement, and massacres against civilians, including women and children, in the Gaza Strip.
The leaflets urged Gaza residents to provide information about the whereabouts of leaders of the Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, after the failure of the Israeli occupation to reach them despite ground military campaigns, relentless airstrikes, and various violations aimed at subduing the region and its inhabitants.
The Israeli occupation’s desperate message
The message presented in those leaflets, which garnered widespread mockery, stated: “Oh people of Gaza, Hamas has lost its strength (they couldn’t even fry an egg)… the end of Hamas is near… for your future.”
The leaflet urged residents of the Gaza Strip to provide information enabling the Israeli occupation to apprehend those whom the message falsely accused of “bringing destruction and ruin to the Gaza Strip.” The message listed the names of the wanted individuals and the specified reward for each, with Gaza Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar topping the list with a reward of $400,000 for information leading to his location.
The message also included the name of Mohammed Sinwar, the head of the workforce in the Al-Qassam Brigades, with a reward of $300,000 for information about his whereabouts. The third name was that of the Khan Yunis Brigade commander, Rafe Salama, with a reward of $200,000 for information about his location.
The fourth, with a reward of $100,000 for information about his location, was Mohammed al-Daif, the overall commander of the Al-Qassam Brigades.
Widespread mockery
The message triggered a wide range of reactions and mockery on social media platforms. Palestinian activist Khaled Safi, from Gaza, sarcastically wrote: “Translation: ‘Oh people of pride… Israel has lost its collaborators, unable to free a single prisoner despite seventy days of killing and destruction. The end of Israel is near.'”
Safi added, mocking the desperate message from the Israeli occupation: “In order to ‘Zionize’ yourselves, provide information to the occupation about those who brought pride and honor to the entire nation, and join the eternal list of shame, the Israeli occupation army.”
الترجمة: “يا أهل العزة.. لقد فقدت إسرائيل عملاءها، لم تتمكن من تحرير أسير واحد رغم سبعين يومًا من القتل والتدمير، نهاية إسرائيل قريبة.
من أجل تصهينكم قدموا للاحتلال معلومات عن الأشخاص الذين جلبوا العز والفخار لكل الأمة، وانضموا إلى قائمة العار للأبد”

Another activist commented on the occupation’s leaflets in the besieged Palestinian territory: “Prices on the left, the occupation is fading away, shame and disgrace to the Zionists and collaborators.”
Bura’a wrote: “These four have struck Israel and cost it hundreds of billions of dollars, and in the end, a reward of $400 is offered. This is just so that the collaborator is too embarrassed to report with such an amount.”
As for Mary, she commented: “Oh people of Gaza: Israel has lost its strength. Our handicapped army can no longer eat an egg. Our end is imminent.”
The sarcastic commentator added, imitating Safi’s style: “In order to survive, we beg you and implore you to help us eliminate you because we can no longer deal with you. You exposed us to the civilized and noble world. For God’s sake, surrender! You turned Sinwar into a laughingstock.”
هؤلاء الأربعة ضربوا اسرائيل وكلفوها مئات مليارات الدولارات
اخر شي تنزل مكافئة 400$ هذا حتى العميل يستحي يبلغ بهيك مبلغ— براء (@baraabe1) December 14, 2023
Israeli Minister of Defense Benny Gantz acknowledged in a post on “X” site that the “second survival war” waged by Israel imposes a high, painful, and difficult cost, and anyone who falls is a scar on the entire state of Israel, according to his description.
The Israeli occupation suffered significant losses in exchange for the failure of its military campaign aimed at eliminating the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas and retrieving prisoners, without achieving either of these objectives.
يا أهل غزة:
لقد فقدت إسرائيل قوتها”جيشنا المبتور الأطراف لم يعد قادر علي أكل بيضة” نهايتنا صارت وشيكة
من أجل بقائنا نحن نستجديكم و نتوسّل إليكم أعينونا علي القضاء عليكم
لأننا لم نعد قادرون عليكم فضحتونا أمام العالم المتحضر الراقي
بالله عليكم إستسلموا لقد حولنا السنوار إلي أضحوكة— merrydor (@merrydor156414) December 14, 2023
