Hamas acknowledges "some faults" in the October 7 attack on Israel, citing the rapid collapse of the Israeli security system. In a 16-page report, the group justifies the attacks as a "necessary step" against Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories. The document, released in English and Arabic, reveals the chaos along Gaza's border during the breakthrough. The attacks resulted in approximately 1,140 deaths, mainly civilians. Hamas defends the actions as a response to Israeli conspiracies and calls for an immediate halt to Israeli aggression on Gaza. The group rejects external interference in Gaza's post-war future, asserting the Palestinian people's right to decide.
