“Al-Aqsa Storm”; Revival of the Palestinian issue
| After more than 5 months of the war in the Gaza Strip and recording the great crimes of the Zionists in this small strip, October 7, 2023 became the day that divided the Palestinian issue into before and after itself. |
Mehr News, International Group: After more than 5 months of the war in the Gaza Strip and the registration of crimes The great Zionists in this small narrow, but October 7, 2023 became the day that divided the Palestinian issue into before and after itself. It is impossible to discuss the issue of Palestine in 1402 and not consider 15 Mehr (October 7) as its turning point.
On the morning of October 7, the Palestinian resistance forces, in a precise and coordinated operation, while crossing the borders of Gaza and entering the occupied settlements around the Gaza Strip, in less than half an hour, more than They fired 5,000 rockets and missiles towards the occupied territories and also captured about 300 Zionists. The images of the Zionists fleeing in plain clothes, the killing of border soldiers, the looting of cars and even Israeli tanks at the border checkpoints all showed the depth of the Zionists’ surprise.
The surprise attacks of Al-Aqsa storm left Netanyahu’s cabinet facing an intelligence and security failure, so that in the days and hours before the start of the storm, there was no sign of The Israeli side showed no signs of anticipating such an attack and, accordingly, there was no necessary preparation to deal with it.
These actions were carried out in the form of a detailed plan against the Zionist army. Amos Hareil, a military analyst of Haaretz, a Hebrew-language newspaper, revealed: “The number of Israeli soldiers stationed around the Gaza Strip at the same time as the October 7 attack by Hamas was 400, and 12 tanks were also with them, and the number of soldiers killed that day was more than 300. This means that all the soldiers stationed in this area were killed or captured.”
Changing security equations and the Palestinian scene
Al-Aqsa storm is an operation that was unprecedented in the history of Palestinian resistance and resulted in lasting achievements. This great and decisive operation turned the course of Palestinian history. Ayatollah Khamenei said at the joint graduation ceremony of the students of the armed forces’ officer universities: “In this case of the 15th of Mehr, the Zionist usurper regime, both militarily and informationally, , an irreparable failure; Everyone said failure, my emphasis is on irreparability. I say that this devastating earthquake has managed to destroy some of the main structures of the usurping regime’s rule, which cannot be rebuilt so easily. It is unlikely that the usurping Zionist regime will be able to restore those structures with all the hype it is doing, with all the support it receives from the Westerners in the world today. I would like to say that since Saturday the 15th of Mehr, the Zionist regime is no longer the previous Zionist regime, and the blow it has received cannot be compensated for so easily.”
Palestinian resistance and its leaders, as they had announced many times, their goal from Al-Aqsa storm, saving Al-Aqsa Mosque, reducing It was the siege of the Gaza Strip and the release of their captives. The set of goals that can be called changing the equations and returning the power of deterrence against the occupation and its policies. In a publication on the eve of the 100th day of the Al-Aqsa storm, the Hamas movement recalled:
“The battle of the Palestinian nation against occupation and colonialism did not begin on the 7th of October 2023, but it began before this and during 105 years of occupation, that is, 30 years under British colonialism and 75 years of occupation by the Zionist regime.” This publication adds: “In the shadow of the crimes of Zionism, what does the world expect from our nation?” What should this nation do to deal with the Judaizing plans of Al-Aqsa Mosque? What should this nation do in confronting the actions of the Zionists to control the West Bank and the plan to displace the Palestinian nation? What should this nation do to free thousands of Palestinian prisoners from prisons?”
It goes without saying that this intention and goal was believed and understood by the Palestinian community. The Palestinian Survey and Political Studies Center (PSR), which is based in Ramallah and is close to the Palestinian Authority, conducted a survey before the end of the third month of the Al-Aqsa storm, in which 81 percent of Palestinians said the real reason for the Al-Aqsa storm was to support the Al-Aqsa Mosque and The prisoners knew. At the same time, 77% consider Al-Aqsa storm to be a correct decision.
The Al-Aqsa storm is a serious obstacle in front of dangerous Zionist thinking to continue the policies of Judaizing the Al-Aqsa Mosque, confiscating the city of Quds and the West Bank, settlements and continuing the siege and gradual death. It was the people of the Gaza Strip. Al-Aqsa storm once again revived the Palestinian issue in the field of action.
Summary
The October 7 saga once again made the Palestinian issue the first issue not only of the Arab and Islamic world, but also of It became one of the topics of the global index. After October 7, the media and politicians once again reminded of issues such as the establishment of an independent Palestinian state and the need to pay attention to the occupations of the Zionist regime; A reminder that will create new equations in the deterrence against the occupationist actions of the Zionists. Also, the Al-Aqsa storm operation dealt a business and historical blow to the security, economy and global image of the Zionist regime. Regarding the extent of this impact and its consequences, we can wait until the end of Al-Aqsa storm and its developments; But the impact of this storm on the economy and internal security of the Zionist regime in the last 5 months is obvious and significant.
This blow can be seen in the decision of other resistance actors to attack the Zionist regime. Hezbollah’s unprecedented actions and crossing the border line in 2006 are a real example of the breaking of the Zionist deterrence line. Tel Aviv is now seeking to return the border conditions of the occupied territories and Lebanon to the situation before October 7; A situation that is impossible even with heavy costs such as possible war. The greatest achievement and goal of October 7 was to change the state of deterrence and push back the Zionist policies in Palestine, the Gaza Strip and even the border of Lebanon. This change will face the future of the Palestinian case with important changes.
