On video: Gallant: "Hamas is looking for a replacement for Sinwar"/ Defense Minister Communications
Hamas planned to release prisoners from Shekmah prison on October 7, but the force entrusted with this task made a navigation error due to a technical malfunction - this was reported in the London-based al-Sharq al-Awast newspaper on Tuesday, from sources in the terrorist organizations in Gaza.
According to the report in the Saudi newspaper, a group of 23 Nohba fighters, the elite unit of Hamas, that infiltrated into Israel that Saturday was supposed to arrive at Shakma prison, which is about 18 kilometers from the border with the Gaza Strip.
The sources said that the squad advanced towards Ashkelon from Mordechai's side, and exchanged fire with soldiers and killed several of them.
However, according to the report, for an as yet unknown reason she retraced her steps to the south, in the direction of the enrichment route.
According to the estimates, the "guide" of the squad, who is responsible for navigation using maps and GPS devices, inadvertently led the group in the direction of the enrichment route, due to a technical fault whose reasons are unclear.
She apparently finally reached Sderot, which was cleared days later.
