Operation Al-Aqsa Flood is topping the headlines in Israeli newspapers on Sunday, with the narrative focusing on "Israel's" failure to confront the Palestinian Resistance, while the situation today has been compared to the 1973 October War, 50 years ago.

In its editorial, Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper described the Palestinian Resistance's operation as "the October 2023 failure," adding that hundreds of Israelis were killed while dozens were kidnapped and transferred to Gaza.

"Israel" Hayom described the recent escalation as "hell in the South," comparing "Israel's" failure in curbing the Palestinian operation to its failure during the October War.

The Maariv newspaper said 50 years after the October War, "Israel" was caught off guard again, while The Jerusalem Post claimed in its editorial that Hamas launched a "deadly invasion".

In addition, Haaretz held Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responsible for "the catastrophe that befell Israel."

Operation Al-Aqsa Flood

The Israeli occupation woke up at dawn Saturday to a sudden and widespread attack launched by the Palestinian Resistance into Gaza Envelope settlements, successfully taking Israeli occupation forces and illegal settlers captive while causing hundreds of fatalities among them, under an Operation dubbed Al-Aqsa Flood, in a huge intelligence flop.

Hours after the start of the operation, Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed in a recorded statement that "Israel" is "at war", adding that Hamas initiated "a surprise attack."

Israeli media suggested that more than 300 Israelis had been killed and at least 1,100 wounded so far, while Channel 13 indicated that the number of Israeli deaths is "only the tip of the iceberg compared to the real number."

On its part, the Israeli occupation launched a new aggression against the Gaza Strip, conducting extensive air raids against residential buildings in the Strip that claimed the lives of 313 Palestinians so far, including 20 children.
