Hamas on the October 7 attack: It was necessary, but chaos led to failure

Hamas's first public statement on October 7 stated that these attacks were a natural reaction to confront all Israeli conspiracies against the Palestinian people.

Some errors may have occurred in the implementation of the Al-Aqsa flood operation due to the rapid collapse of the Israeli security and military system, and the chaos that occurred along the border areas of the Gaza Strip, according to Hamas.

At the same time, Hamas demands that Israel stop its “aggression” against Gaza immediately. The statement stated that only the Palestinian people can decide the future of Gaza.

Meanwhile, Hamas accuses Israel of ethnic cleansing against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

These statements come from a 16-page document published by Hamas on Sunday, justifying its attack on Israel on October 7 last year.
