Operation “Al-Aqsa Flood” – which began with a surprise attack launched by the Palestinian Resistance on October 7 on Israel – resulted in the death of more than 1,200 Israelis, the injury of two thousand others, and the detention of more than 240 people by the Palestinian Resistance .
This prompted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to immediately declare that his country was “in a state of war and that the Israeli army would retaliate.”And retaliate it did.
Israel responded with unprecedented barbaric attacks on the Gaza Strip, resulting in the death of more than 13,000 people and the injury of nearly 30,000 others so far, with the destruction of the infrastructure in the Strip, including water and electricity stations, schools, and hospitals.
But for all of Israel’s brutal attack it couldn’t dissipate the fact that Hamas now carries a broader concept of the meaning of resistance, and it must be remembered that it carried out an act that had only been done before in many years. The Palestinian Resistance actually won on October 7, and that cannot be changed.“
Regardless of how the Gaza war unfolds and what happened and is happening now, Israel has already lost and Hamas has won.This is clearly the case when hundreds of thousands of Israelis leave their homes in the north and south and move to relatively safe shelters or centers in the heart of the country.It is also depicted when many schools and universities close their doors, and the economic situation deteriorates in general.The last time this happened to Israel was in the 1973 war.
Hamas won on another front too-it battered Israeli arrogance for despite the loss of more than 13,000 Palestinians, the Palestinian Resistance was able to break out of its open air prison and enter occupied Palestine which contains a population of more than 9 million Israeli people and a strong army, so succeeding in destroying the Israeli psyche and pushing the renewal of the Palestinian struggle to establish an independent state to the global forefront.
