Israelis will never forget October 7, 2023, as it is the day of the “Al-Aqsa Flood,” which can simply be described as the largest attack launched by the Palestinian resistance on Israel since the beginning of its occupation of Palestine in 1948.
The Al-Qassam Brigades – the military arm of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) – succeeded in surprising Israel by land, sea and air, and its resistance fighters infiltrated several settlements around the Gaza Strip, which led to the killing of hundreds of Israeli soldiers and settlers, and the capture and loss of more than 200 others.
Israel responded with a devastating war that is still ongoing, leaving more than 41,000 martyrs within a year, more than half of whom were women and children, in addition to nearly 100,000 injured, thousands missing, and hundreds of thousands displaced.
In conjunction with the first anniversary of the “Al-Aqsa Flood,” Tel Aviv Tribune Net provides its reader with special coverage over several days under the title “Gaza in a Year,” monitoring the most prominent events and repercussions that occurred.
The coverage also highlights the humanitarian file in Gaza, the economic repercussions of Operation “Al-Aqsa Flood” on Israel, and international support for Israel, which was matched by unique and unprecedented cases of international solidarity movement with occupied Palestine.
