"Hamas Acknowledges Security Failures in Oct 7 Attacks"

Hamas released a 16-page report justifying their October 7 attacks on Israel, admitting to "some faults" due to the collapse of Israeli security and military systems. The attacks resulted in the deaths of about 1,140 people, mostly civilians, and the seizure of around 250 hostages, with at least 27 captives believed to have been killed. Israel's relentless bombardment and ground offensive have killed at least 25,105 people in Gaza, mostly women and children, prompting Hamas to urge an immediate halt to Israeli aggression and reject international and Israeli efforts to decide Gaza's post-war future.
