It took me forever to find this, and I'm not quite satisfied with it because of reasons which will soon be apparent. When discussing this "heart-hardening" shit we do have this interesting report....

I have found a translation of the inscription of Ahmose son of Ebana and while it confirms the fighting and the rebellion it does not go into the detail of Ahmose I chasing after the Hyksos as it is mainly a funerary boast of a dead soldier. I have been unable to find a translation of the Ahmose Pennekheb inscription. Maybe I'll see if I can still find the online repository of James Henry Breasted's translations of Egyptian writings and see if this happens to be in there?
Anyway, assuming the story is true it would certainly give another shot in the arm to the garbled story of the Hyksos expulsion being re-worked into the exodus bullshit story.

Quote:Expulsion of the Hyksos in Year 16 of his reign.
Ahmose I slowly drove the Hyksos back to their capital Avaris (location on one of the eastern branches of the Nile in Lower Egypt), once here Ahmose laid siege to the city. Ahmose had troubles of his own with his kingdom, he left the siege of Avaris in the control of his military commanders so that he was free to placate a rebellion in the Theban region. When Ahmose returned to Avaris he found that negotiations had been taking place between the Hyksos and his military commanders the Hyksos were allowed to leave Egypt gracefully in return for surrendering the city (1532 BC).
...However, Ahmose was not going to let his enemy escape so easily the Egyptian army pursued the Hyksos people into southern Palestine to Sharuhen. The city was put under siege by the Egyptians, after three years the Hyksos once more fled this time into Syria. Again the Egyptians followed, but Ahmose finally returned home to Egypt.
The tombs of two of Ahmose's soldiers give accounts of the campaigns (Ahmose son of Ebana, and Ahmose Pennekheb).
