Hamas Used WhatsApp And Emojis In Coded Messages

The WhatsApp logo appears on a smartphone screen, and the flag of Palestine displays as the background on a laptop computer screen in this photo illustration in Athens, Greece, on February 18, 2026. Hamas uses coded WhatsApp emojis and SIM card swaps to mobilize operatives undetected before the October 7 attack, according to an IDF investigation, which also finds that an intelligence officer repeatedly warns commanders of the impending assault months earlier, but is largely ignored.
