Al Mayadeen's correspondent in occupied Palestine reported that Palestinian Resistance fighters have reportedly succeeded in kidnapping Israeli occupation soldiers.

Earlier, the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported that "dozens of militants infiltrated settlements in the Gaza envelope." Consequently, settlers are currently afraid, shocked, and frustrated, as per Israeli media.

A difficult morning for “Israel”

Israeli media confirmed that “Israel” is experiencing a "difficult morning", reporting hostages and numerous injuries in the Gaza Envelope. Furthermore, Israeli Channel 12's correspondent noted that Israeli settlers are questioning, "Where is the Israeli army? Where are the security forces? Why haven't they reached them yet?," adding that they are simply fearful of the "significant disaster unfolding, with several injuries reported in Sderot.”

Israeli media have reported multiple hostages and Israeli fatalities resulting from the Operation in the Gaza Strip. Simultaneously, an Israeli medical official has affirmed that the number of casualties is significant and cannot be ascertained at this moment.

Israeli media shared footage of an Israeli tank on fire in the Gaza Strip, with Palestinians celebrating and affirming that the Resistance succeeded in capturing all the soldiers that were inside.

Operation Al-Aqsa Flood

Mohammad Deif, Commander-in-Chief of al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, has announced the launching of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood following a barrage of rockets fired and an infiltration operation into Gaza Envelope settlements.

The leader said the operation comes in response to the Israeli occupation's desecration of al-Aqsa Mosque, as well as multiple assaults against women in its yards. 

He added that the Resistance fired more than 5,000 rockets and shells during the first stage of strikes.

Deif addressed the Palestinian Resistance fighter, saying, "This is your day to make the enemy understand that its time has ended," adding that the Resistance had previously warned the Israeli occupation against assaulting women worshippers and desecrating al-Aqsa.

Al-Qassam Brigades leader also addressed the Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, calling on them to "organize operations against settlements" and "sweep" the occupation away.

He then urged Palestinians residing in occupied al-Quds, as well as those in the 1948 occupied territories, to join the fight against the Israeli occupation.

Deif called on Palestinians to take up arms.

O our brethren in Algeria, Morocco, Jordan, Egypt, and the rest of Arab countries, take action and respond to the calls.

The Resistance's operation comes in the context of continued and unchecked Israeli aggression against Palestinians in the West Bank and al-Quds, as well as a suffocating siege on the Gaza Strip.
