Hamas leader Osama Hamdan confirmed to Al Mayadeen that Operation Al-Aqsa Flood is still proceeding as planned by the Qassam Brigades leadership highlighting major achievements revealed for the first time.

Hamdan said that the Resistance took advantage of all the information retrieved following the takeover of the “Erez” outpost liberating Palestinian territories.

Among the documents were those denoting the names of Israeli agents in Gaza and across Palestine as well as plans laid out by the Israeli occupation.

"The #Palestinian resistance fighters now possess all intel from 'Eretz' military site on agents and Israeli plans."

The Hamas leader said that “there are more than 7 points where Resistance fighters confronted the [Israeli] occupation forces based on the instructions of the Resistance leadership.”

Hamdan continued by saying "We are moving towards the West Bank" hoping to ignite all arenas in the face of the occupation noting that "the chances of that are great," given that "the security coordination project will not have high chances in the West Bank."

Regarding the options of the Israeli occupation government, Hamdan said that it must search for a deal with the resistance regarding the prisoners’ issue, and he continued that the image of “Israel” before the world has reappeared as it is, as an occupying and abnormal entity in the region.

Hamdan further pointed to the possibility of liberating Palestine starting from the Al-Aqsa Flood operation which demonstrated the fragility of the Israeli occupation forces emphasizing that the operation proved that the Palestinian cause still extends from the river to the sea.

"The possibility of liberating Palestine is now tangible after Operation Al-Aqsa Flood which showcased the fragility of the Israeli army."

The Hamas leader also noted that the operation has indicated that "Israel" proved incapable of defending itself sending a previously unprecedented message to all countries that were aiming to normalize relations with "Tel Aviv".

On a different note, Hamdan stressed that "it is not possible to talk about political mediations today, and we are not concerned, at this point, with talks of this kind."

Hamdan revealed that the Resistance was able, with its cyber capabilities, to neutralize part of the enemy’s capabilities, which facilitated the entry of Resistance fighters, pointing out that one of the most important elements of surprise during the operation was the movement of about 2000 fighters without being detected by “Israel”.

Hamdan also addressed countries hoping to normalize ties with "Israel" saying that they must “reconsider today the information that Washington provided to them about the Palestinian reality.”

As for the occupied Lebanese Shebaa Farms operation, Hamdan said that the decision-maker in “Israel” received the message and understood it well, adding that “the joint operations room was managing the battle.”

Hamdan also pointed out that “what is required today is for the occupation to realize that it has no security in this region and this country,” adding that the operation is important and "must be considered a landmark because it has placed us as Palestinians and the al-Quds axis at the brink of liberating Palestine."

Al-Quds Brigades, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) military wing, and Al-Qassam Brigades, the Hamas military wing, jointly shelled a gathering of Israeli occupation's bulldozers and howitzers in the settlement of "Yad Mordechai".

Al-Quds Brigades confirmed that elite fighters, along with their compatriots in the Al-Qassam Brigades, have been persistently engaged in continuous clashes for more than 30 hours on several fronts within the Gaza Envelope settlements.

"The resistance fighters managed to capture three Israeli soldiers who were holed up inside a concrete room in the vicinity of the Kisyufim military site," an Al-Quds Brigades resistance media correspondent said. 

Additionally, Al-Quds Brigades senior official affirmed that "fighters entrenched in the settlements of Kfar Sada, Kfar Azza, and Sderot are resisting the repeated attempts by the enemy forces to infiltrate".

In the ongoing operation since yesterday morning, Al-Quds Brigades also targeted the "Nahal Oz" military site with a salvo of missile strikes supporting the elite forces engaged with the enemy inside the site.
