Israeli media is reporting a disastrous intelligence failure in their coverage of what they are describing as “the most strategic event experienced by the Palestinian arena.”
In response to the occupation’s actions in Al-Aqsa Mosque and the dragging of women in its courtyards, Hamas initiated Operation “Al-Aqsa Flood.” This battle took ‘Israel’ completely by surprise, without any prior information, indicators, or warnings. Israeli media has confirmed that “Israel has no control over what is happening so far in the Gaza Strip,” and that “there are those who have not yet realized the extent of what is happening.”

The Israeli media has confirmed there are many Israeli hostages and deaths as a result of the operation in the Gaza Strip, and reports of the infiltration of Palestinian fighters into settlements have forced residents to barricade themselves in their homes.

The situation has left Israeli illegal settlers afraid, with many calling on the police and the army to respond to their calls.
As the operation continues, Israeli news sites have confirmed the occurrence of “hostages in the enclave and many injuries.” The Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas movement, has announced the start of Operation “Al-Aqsa Flood” and fired over 5,000 missiles and shells in the first strike, targeting settlements including Tel Aviv, Rishon LeZion, and Bat Yam.
