The spokesperson for the Islamic Resistance Movement "Hamas," Abdel Latif al-Qanou, stated today, Saturday, October 7, 2023, that the "Flood of Al-Aqsa" operation "comes as a victory for Al-Aqsa Mosque and a protection for our Palestinian people from the excesses of the extremist fascist right-wing Israeli government and as a victory for the prisoners in the prisons of the Zionist occupation."

He confirmed that the flood would extend from the Gaza Strip to all the occupied territories, calling on the Arab peoples to unite with the Palestinian resistance.

Al-Qanou also added that the Zionist occupation will pay the price for its crimes and aggression against the prisoners, Al-Aqsa Mosque, and all Palestinians, who will continue to resist in this battle with all means and tools.

It is noteworthy that more than 100 rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip towards the occupied territories on the morning of Saturday, October 7, 2023, and Hamas confirmed in a statement that its members are conducting an operation it has named "Flood of Al-Aqsa."

Additionally, armed Palestinians infiltrated four settlements near Gaza, took hostages, and there were clashes and exchanges of fire with the Israeli occupation forces, while the occupation army announced the execution of an operation against Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip.
