An Israeli military probe has found that Hamas’s October 7 attack happened in three waves, and at its height, more than 5,000 people entered Israel from Gaza, AFP reports.
“The first wave … included more than 1,000 Nukhba terrorists who infiltrated under the cover of heavy fire,” a summary of the inquiry provided by the army said, adding that a second wave included 2,000 fighters, and the third wave was characterised by the arrival of hundreds of fighters, along with several thousand civilians.
“In total, approximately 5,000 terrorists infiltrated Israeli territory during the attack,” the report said.
