The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have accused Hamas of involving children in the transfer of military supplies and messages during wartime.

According to a statement from the Israeli Ministry of Defense's press service, "During the war, the Hamas terrorist organization uses children for various tasks, such as relaying messages or carrying ammunition." The military added, "Hamas trains children in the Gaza Strip and encourages them to engage in terrorist activities. From a young age, children are taught to hate Israel and Jews. In schools, youth movements, and camps, children receive both theoretical and practical military training."

Furthermore, the statement noted, "According to Israeli intelligence, a large number of minors are actively involved in the terrorist organizations Hamas and Islamic Jihad."
