Hamas most wanted playing cards

The Hamas most wanted cards are decks of playing cards featuring pictures of Hamas members wanted by Israel. The decks were produced by independent volunteers and were handed out to Israel Defense Forces soldiers during the early stages of the Gaza war.

Unofficial IDF deck

In the early days of the Gaza war, more an unofficial card deck of 54 wanted senior Hamas figures was distributed to Israeli soldiers. The idea for the deck was inspired by the most-wanted Iraqi playing cards created by the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency for identifying the top wanted members of Saddam Hussein's government during the 2003 invasion of Iraq. The history of making similar decks dates back to the American Civil War. The purpose of the deck was three-fold: 1) help IDF soldiers identify Hamas figures in the field; 2) killing or capturing the subjects of the cards would represent the end of the war; 3) demonstrate Israeli resolve and unsettle Hamas figures hiding in bunkers and tunnels. More than 10,000 decks of the cards were distributed to Israeli soldiers. It is unclear who is behind the decks.
37 people from the list had been killed.

Following the October 7 attacks, a group of Christian Zionist cowboys who had come to volunteer on farms in Israel, and on settler farms in the occupied West Bank, designed and printed another deck of cards with Hamas personalities and distributed the cards to Israeli soldiers in southern Israel and Gaza. The cards were designed and printed by Be'eri Printers at Kibbutz Be'eri, one of the hardest hit kibbutzim during the October 7 attack.
The deck was printed in Hebrew, English, and Arabic, and included two joker cards and 12 Hamas personalities, including Ismail Haniyeh, Yahya Sinwar, Abu Obaida, Mohammed Deif, Marwan Issa, Salah al-Arouri, Khaled Mashal, Fathi Hamad, Ra'ad Sa'ad, Muhammad Sinwar. The depictions in these cards, from the drawings of the subjects to how their names were written in Arabic, are intended to mock the Hamas leaders. For example, Yahya Sinwar is written as "Sinfar", a play on the Arabic word for mouse, الْفَأْر, and his picture depicts him as a mouse.
