Security Oversight: Alleged Biden Error Permits Entry of October 7 ‘Monster’ into U.S.

The revelation of how a suspect from the October 7 massacre could legally reside in the U.S., complete with a driving license and social security number, has sparked a wave of questions from Republicans about the Biden administration’s oversight. Court documents allege that by 6:34 a.m. on October 7, 2023, Al-Muhtadi had been informed of the Hamas attack via social media, mere minutes after it began, and expressed his intent to cross from Gaza into Israel. He reportedly spent the next two hours organizing a group of armed militants to accompany him. By 9:33 a.m., the criminal complaint states, his group had breached Israeli borders, and by 10:01 a.m., he was near the cell tower close to Kfar Aza. The complaint details the gruesome events at Kfar Aza, where among the victims were four American citizens. In a particularly harrowing incident, two young children, aged six and nine, concealed themselves inside a wardrobe next to their deceased mother for approximately twelve hours before being rescued.
