Al-Aqsa Storm: From Humiliating Zionists to Defeating the Myth of the Invincible Army
webangah News Agency, International Desk: The bold Palestinian resistance operation carried out on October 7, 2023, known as “Al-Aqsa Storm,” has become a global awakening-a moral, spiritual, and political uprising against occupation and injustice.
Nawaf Takrouri, Chairman of the Palestinian Scholars Council, offered an in-depth analysis on the second anniversary of this operation in an exclusive interview with the news website ilka. He discussed the significance of this turning point, its impact on the occupation regime, and the ongoing genocide in Gaza. According to him,Al-Aqsa Storm revealed the true face of the occupiers and revived the Palestinian cause after years of neglect and betrayal.
Below is Nawaf takrouri’s analysis on Al-Aqsa Storm and its outcomes:
Al-Aqsa Storm shattered Israel’s myth of invincibility
For decades Israel crafted an image of military dominance, intelligence mastery, and absolute control. The Al-Aqsa Storm shattered that image within a single morning. This storm irreversibly broke enemy strength. The Israeli regime was humiliated before the international community.
The operation exposed what was previously hidden; destruction of hospitals, schools and mosques; massacres targeting women and children; hypocrisy by those who claim to defend human rights-all these crimes became visible worldwide. The resistance’s ability to infiltrate Israeli-controlled areas, seize military bases, and capture Israeli soldiers dealt an unprecedented psychological and strategic blow to occupiers as 1948.
Genocide born out of desperation-not strength
Following this operation,the zionist regime launched a comprehensive assault on Gaza-a campaign marked by genocide,deprivation,and destruction now entering its second year.These atrocities stem from fearand humiliation,rather than confidence.
Every crime committed by today’s occupiers aims at regaining lost honor.Their massacres reflect madness.They have lost control over narrative,military credibility,and moral standing.They kill to appear strong,but each bomb dropped only reveals their vulnerability further.
Despite unimaginable casualties-over 67 thousand martyrsand more than 170 thousand wounded-the peopleofGaza remain steadfast.Families endure hunger ,displacement,and lossof entire neighborhoods,yet refuse to abandon their homeland.The enemy’s power is hollow.It is our people’s resilience that terrifies them.
A storm that reached across continents

The recent plan presentedby DonaldTrump,U.S.president,and BenjaminNetanyahu.Israeli Prime Ministeris nothing butan attempt toreassert colonial dominance.It isa not peace agreementbuta newSykes-Pikotargetedtoredrawpowerinthe region underIsraeli-American hegemony.No decision aboutGaza or Palestine canbebeme without considering thoseresistingonth efrontlines.Any country acting otherwisecommits betrayal.
