the 10-hour al-axsa flood operation dealt a humiliating blow to israel's much towted military and intelligence system. shortly after the operation, the israeli military launched a massive strike on the besieged gaza strip that has killed more than 30,000 people, most of them women and children so far. the israeli regime, encouraged by the us and western allies support outline three major objectives for this onslaught on gaza. i have three goals: one goal is to defeat hamas, utterly defeat and destroy hamas, the second is to bring... back our hostages and the third is to ensure that we don't have a similar threat in the future from gaza and that what happens is gaza is good for israel, good for palestinians, good for the middle east, and to do that we need to demilitarize gaza and deradicalize gaza, we cannot have it

mean for the forseable future israeli overriding military responsibility. the israeli regime has not only failed to achieve the goals, but also was forced to negotiate. with hamas a cease fire, the failure to achieve these goals has not only exposed the limitations of israel's military prowis, but has also highlighted the resilience and the determination of palestinian resistance forces. there is no doubt that operation flood represented success for the resistance movement, success in carrying out a large scale operation without the enemy being able to... action preemptively. this operation succeeded in seasing the entire gaza positions within just hours. this is undoubtedly a great achievement, but here's the question: was there any expectation for the enemy's reaction? certainly. it was

expected that there would be a reaction, but it is the nature of the occupation. it kills you, seizes your land, arrests you and imprisons you. for example, in the west bank in 2022. before the operations, the number of marters was about 500. the number of wounded people who were taken to hospitals exceeded 3,00. we are talking about thousands of prisoners. under this occupation, for 75 years, you have two choices: either you do nothing and it continues to kill you, capture you and seize your land, or you resist and the enemy will continue the aggression, but the message will be conveyed that the palestinian. people are still adhering to the right to resist that the enemy is paying a price for the occupation, operational acts of flood marked a significant turning point for the palestinian people, showcasing the harsh reality of israeli occupation to the world. this operation not only highlighted the
