Enemy media reveals army's failure to repel Qassam fighters' invasion of Sderot
Occupied Al-Quds - Saba:
Zionist enemy media reported, citing an Israeli army investigation published Wednesday, that 1,000 soldiers and police officers failed to repel the attack by elite Hamas fighters on the city of Sderot on October 7.
The newspaper "Zaman Yisrael" reported that the city, the largest in the Gaza Strip, with a population of 38,000, was attacked by 40 elite fighters, who killed 53 Israelis in the city, including 37 civilians, 11 police officers, and two soldiers.
Unlike other areas in the Gaza Strip, there were no kidnappings in the city because the majority of the attacking force was killed. Thirty-nine of the 40 militants were killed, and only one was captured, in addition to a civilian from the Gaza Strip who arrived in the city after the elite forces entered.
The newspaper reported that investigations proved the army and security forces failed to repel the attack on the city in its first hours, despite the presence of the largest number of army and police personnel in the city, numbering approximately 1,000. Meanwhile, the command and control center of the Gaza Division was paralyzed at the height of the attack, leaving the soldiers surrounding the city unaware of what was happening inside, as the militants infiltrated through a breach in the fence near the memorial.

Jihad says aggression on southern suburb of Beirut blatant assault with blatant American cover
Gaza – Saba: The Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine has condemned the Israeli aggression on the southern suburb of Beirut on the eve of Eid al-Adha. In a press statement, Jihad said "The treacherous Zionist aggression that targeted residential areas in the southern suburbs of Beirut and areas in southern Lebanon, resulting in widespread destruction, terrorizing innocent civilians, and forcing thousands of families to flee their homes on the eve of Eid al-Adha, constitutes a violation of the ceasefire, which the enemy has never observed, with blatant American cover and complicity." It considered this attack "a blatant provocation and confirmation of premeditated aggressive intentions aimed at dragging Lebanon into a dangerous escalation through which the enemy seeks to expand and consolidate its occupation." The movement said, "While we pray to God to protect Lebanon and its people from all harm, we affirm the depth of the fraternal relations that unite the Lebanese and Palestinian peoples in the face of these attacks."
