A report that aired Tuesday night on Kan News featured audio from Colonel Elad Shushan, the IDF officer overseeing investigations into the battles of October 7th at Kibbutz Nirim. In the recording, he reveals that on the day of the attack, Hamas dispatched a force of 120 Nukhba operatives with the goal of reaching Be’er Sheva.
“We seized this document four months after the October 7th massacre. We can see several large forces here, 120 terrorists heading towards Be’er Sheva, but they did not reach their destination,” Col. Shushan said in the recording.
He went on to explain, “These 120 terrorists did not reach their destination, they were stopped on the way … and they didn’t say, ‘We didn’t succeed – we’ll go back to Khan Yunis.’ They just directed the fighting to a community close to them.”
According to the investigation, the group of terrorists was intercepted before reaching Be’er Sheva, likely by Israeli security forces. As a result, they shifted course and attacked nearby civilian communities within the Eshkol Regional Council. This change in plan may explain why such a large number of terrorists ended up storming the border-area communities, rather than the smaller squads of thirty that Hamas had reportedly intended to assign to each location.
