Sneak past the border

Saleh Al-Arouri
In turn, Saleh Al-Arouri, Deputy Head of the Political Bureau of the Hamas Movement, said, “The mujahideen of the Gaza Strip began a wide operation with the aim of defending Al-Aqsa Mosque and liberating the prisoners,” stressing that the battle is “a justification for the Israeli occupation, and it came in response to its ongoing crimes.”
In his speech, Al-Arouri called on the West Bank to participate in the battle by opening a clash with the settlements, considering that the West Bank “is the final word in this battle.”

Captivity is what you see, not what you hear… Public scenes of the capture of occupation soldiers
Originally, the Islamic Resistance Movement ( Hamas ) announced that it had captured an occupation soldier, and Israel was reluctant for a long time to acknowledge the operation that took place away from the media.
After a while, Israel is forced to confess and begins negotiating through an intermediary a prisoner exchange deal, without revealing many details about the occupation soldiers detained by Hamas in Gaza.
Al-Aqsa Flood
But things changed completely in Operation “Al-Aqsa Flood,” which was initiated by the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military arm of Hamas, this Saturday morning, as the occupation soldiers were captured in the streets, forcibly removed from their military armor, handcuffed, and taken to the Gaza Strip, and the world from east to west. The viewer follows.
In one of the scenes, the resistance fighters pull a soldier from inside a tank, and people gather to watch the operation. Then one of those present speaks, saying, “The youth are taking a soldier out of the tank. He is alive.”
The loud voice returns, announcing, “Now the borders are being bulldozed.” He was right, as a resistance fighter mounted a bulldozer and tore down the Israeli fence that was fortifying the towns surrounding Gaza.
Then bullets roared to celebrate the moment, and people rushed beyond the “borders” to shouts of praise, glorification, and glorification.
Complete control
In another scene, resistance members appear to be in control of the situation. They throw at soldiers from a military vehicle and take them wherever the Chief of Staff of the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Muhammad al-Deif, wishes.
In a third clip, a Palestinian resistance fighter appears dragging a soldier to the ground without the prisoner showing the slightest resistance, knowing with certainty that the occupation army no longer has control over him.
Near him, another Israeli soldier was lying on the ground, where his people returned today, exiling, killing, and capturing them.
In another photo posted on social media, a member of the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades holds an officer with the rank of colonel. It was said that he thought the Gaza front was calm, so he slept a little before dawn, only to wake up in captivity.

On social media
On social media, the Palestinians rejoice in the moment and mock the speed of their enemy’s collapse in the face of the resistance’s strikes. One of them says, “The house of so-and-so brought a prisoner, and we must bring a prisoner to our home.”
These comments are based on the large number of capture operations today, as Israeli radio acknowledged the capture of 35 soldiers, while a Palestinian member was seen carrying an Israeli soldier at the back of his stairs as if he were carrying a bag.
As for the head of the Regional Council for the Israeli border areas northeast of the Gaza Strip, he was able to join the group of prisoners, but his companions opened fire on the resistance, which responded by killing him immediately.
The prisoner operations are only a corner of the big scene painted today by Al-Qassam elements and the followers of Sheikh Ahmed Yassin . Cameras broadcast moments that Israel had not anticipated since 1976.
Resistance members
Resistance members roamed the streets of Israeli towns to confirm their shares and confidence in the results of the plan, which the Israeli media said was successful and impressive by all standards, and that the occupation army was very unsuccessful in dealing with it.
Israel is still in shock from the operation that Hamas called the “Al-Aqsa Flood,” while Agence France-Presse reported that Hamas continues to carry out its military operation inside the settlements surrounding Gaza
The Israeli army sounded sirens in the southern and central regions, while the police urged people to stay near shelters.
The Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades announced that its fighters fired more than 5,000 rockets toward Israel.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Muhammad al-Deif , said that the movement decided to put an end to all the crimes of the occupation, and “the time for it to revel without accountability has ended.”

Located 20 kilometers southeast of Tel Aviv, Ben Gurion is Israel’s main international airport.
