Hamas releases its second narrative on Operation “Al-Aqsa Flood”

Titled “Our Narrative: Al-Aqsa Flood—Two Years of Steadfastness and Resolve for Liberation,” the publication presents the Movement’s political and historical account of events that happened during and after the October 7, 2023 cross-border operation.

“Al-Aqsa Flood was not just a military operation but the birth of liberated awareness and a resurgent will for liberation, untainted by deception or distortion,” Hamas said, affirming that the subsequent war and genocide had failed to break the Palestinian people or erase their memory.

Hamas stressed that the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital, and the return of refugees to their homes, “is not a dream, but a right enshrined in international conventions and a historical and political entitlement.”

The narrative is composed of eight chapters. The opening chapter explores the motives and circumstances behind the “Al-Aqsa Flood” operation, while the second, entitled “The Day of Glorious Crossing,” sheds light on Hamas’s position on the October 7th events.

The Hamas narrative’s third chapter highlights the need to investigate the October 7th events and unearth the truth about what happened on that day. The fourth outlines Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, while the fifth talks about the Movement’s bid to halt the Israeli aggression as well as the Trump plan.

The sixth chapter reviews the “Achievements of Al-Aqsa Flood”. The seventh explains how “Hamas Cannot Be Isolated,” while the eighth chapter details the “Priorities of the Next Stage” both politically and on the ground.

The release of this narrative comes amid ongoing Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement, debates over the future of the resistance’s weapons, and Hamas’s role within the Palestinian political landscape.
