Hamas most wanted playing cards

The decks were produced by independent volunteers and were handed out to Israel Defense Forces soldiers during the early stages of the Israel–Hamas war.

[1][2][3] As part of the Israel–Hamas war, an unofficial[further explanation needed] card deck of 54 wanted individuals were distributed to Israeli soldiers.

The idea for the deck was inspired by the most-wanted Iraqi playing cards created by the Defense Intelligence Agency for identifying the top wanted members of Saddam Hussein's government during the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

[40][42] The organization is based in Patterson, Missouri, and particularly focused on recruiting volunteers to do farm work in Israeli settlements in the West Bank region of Palestine, while the usual farmers are fighting for the IDF in Gaza.

[41] The volunteers and the Hoyovel organisation refer to the West Bank region of Palestine as "Judea and Samaria" (the same name the Israeli settlers use) or as "the biblical heartland".
