Hamas says ‘October 7 attack was necessary’, admits some ’faults, chaos’

Live Mint  

‘October 7 attacks in southern Israel were a necessary step against Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories’, said the Islamist group Hamas while admitting in a 16-page report that “some faults happened due to the rapid collapse of the Israeli security and its military system”. Israeli military forces desecrate 16 Gaza cemeteries The Israeli military, in its ground offensive in Gaza, has reportedly damaged at least 16 cemeteries, destroying gravestones, overturning soil, and, in some instances, exposing buried bodies. However, the Israel Defense Forces told CNN that this destruction was part of an effort to search for the remains of hostages taken by Hamas during the October 7 terror attacks. “The hostage identification process, conducted at a secure and alternative location, ensures optimal professional conditions and respect for the deceased," an IDF spokesperson told CNN, adding that bodies determined not to be those of hostages are “returned with dignity and respect."
