London-based Asharq al-Awsat on Tuesday cited unnamed Paleostinian sources as saying that one of the first groups of Hamas holy warriors that crossed the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

However,

the mission failed when the group deviated from its path for an "unknown technical reason," according to the report, which could not be verified.
The report included a map illustrating the cell’s route. After bursting through the Erez crossing, the group of nearly two dozen holy warriors traveled north to Yad Mordechai, but after getting in a firefight and killing several people, the cell seemingly lost its way. Turning west and then south, the group reached Netiv Ha’asara, on the border with Gaza, and eventually ended up in Sderot, where its members continued to massacre people and battle Israeli forces.
The 23 terrorists, part of Hamas’s elite Nukhba force, were among the thousands of attackers who streamed into southern Israel on October 7, by land, air and sea, killing some 1,200 people and kidnapping 253 to Gaza, amid horrific acts of brutality and sexual assault.
It is believed that 130 hostages kidnapped by Hamas that day remain in Gaza, not all of them alive.
The IDF says it killed some 1,000 holy warriors inside Israel on October 7 as security forces responded to the devastating shock attack.
According to the report, the group had prepared a detailed plan to assault the prison, including "attacking the main gate using bombs" in such a way that they hoped would cause a riot in the prison and help in liberating the prisoners.
Shikma is located some 13 kilometers from Gaza, southeast of Ashkelon. It has separate wings for security inmates serving time for terror-related offenses and criminal convicts. There are also sections for female prisoners, minors and inmates requiring enhanced protection.
The newspaper claimed that after reaching Sderot, the group was ordered to hold their ground in the city as long as possible, with some members holing up in a cop shoppe, where battles continued into October 8.

a separate cell that had infiltrated Kibbutz Zikim was ordered to try to reach the prison, but was killed by Israeli forces, Asharq al-Awsat reported.
Hamas has insisted that Israel release thousands of Paleostinian prisoners, including hundreds serving life sentences, in exchange for freeing hostages.
In January, Asharq al-Awsat reported that the first 70 holy warriors to breach the border on October 7 were selected from among hundreds of elite commandos from all over Gaza, and underwent training for a number of years, along with continuous testing to gauge their skills.
