Palestinians gathered in Ramallah, in the occupied West Bank, in remembrance of Operation al-Aqsa Flood, which was executed a year ago, on October 7, 2023.
Waving the flags of the Islamic Resistance Movement - Hamas, Hezbollah, Yemen, and Iraq, and carrying portraits of the great Resistance leader, martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Palestinians marched in Ramallah, the administrative capital of the occupied territory.
Under the slogan of “We will not lose faith in the revolution” Palestinians from different political factions reaffirmed their support to the Resistance on Monday.
Demonstrators also chanted “salute from Ramallah to Hezbollah fighters,” in a show of cross-border solidarity between the Palestinian and Lebanese people.
"We came to remember our martyrs, wish recovery for our wounded, and congratulate the Resistance, whether Palestinian, Lebanese, Iraqi, or Yemeni, for their struggles over the past year," Jamila Johar told Agence France-Presse (AFP).
"We came to raise our voices and say that the Palestinian struggle continues and that the 7th of October took us from a phase of humiliation to a phase of dignity and pride," another demonstrator expressed.
Despite policies of “maximum pressure” employed by the Israeli regime against Palestinians in occupied territories, Palestinians continue to show support to their compatriots in the Gaza Strip.
Heroic Yafa Operation
The West Bank has also seen an increased number of resistance operations, which have shaken up the Israeli regime’s core.
This includes an attack by al-Qassam Brigades fighters from the southern West Bank city of al-Khalil, who conducted a shooting operation in Tel Aviv (Yafa), on October 1.
At least seven Israeli settlers were killed and 16 others were wounded, some of whom are in critical condition in the complex operation.
Al-Qassam revealed that the operation was carried out by its fighters, Mohammed Rashid Mesk and Ahmed Abdul Fattah al-Haimouni.
According to the statement, al-Qassam fighters infiltrated the occupied territories, stabbed an Israeli soldier, and seized his automatic rifle.
They then carried out the operation in two different locations in the heart of Tel Aviv, one of which was a train station. The statement described how the fighters executed the attack at point-blank range, killing several settlers on-site.
