The mystery of “Hezbollah” in the “Al-Aqsa Flood”

The Hamas movement fought several major battles with Israel, and with its limited capabilities compared to its opponent, it held out and continued its rule of Gaza and its friction with Israel.

The battles it fought did not involve any external party, “in the sense of field participation,” but in order to strengthen morale, they never ceased to remind us of the support of Hezbollah, which is a branch of the Iranian tree.

By mentioning this, I intended to conclude that Hamas has long and detailed experience in fighting with Israel, and has succeeded, for a long time, in managing a war in which there is progress and retreat, prices are taken and prices are paid, and it has experienced concrete experience, action and reaction, bargaining to the brink of the abyss, and deception the enemy, according to Sadat's famous term.

All of this was done by Hamas, and it came at a very high price. There are thousands of martyrs, and the lives of two million and more Palestinians are the most difficult in the entire world.

Among its remarkable tactics was refraining from participating with “Jihad” in two major sites, when it left it facing two fierce Israeli attacks, alone, which confirmed, by the logical conclusion, that it was not willing to spoil its extensive and complex preparations for the “Al-Aqsa Flood” operation, in which it emulated “Hamas.” Egypt's initiative for history to record that it had two Octobers: one on the Egyptian-Syrian fronts, with Palestinian participation "with the size of the capabilities", and the other on the Gaza-Israeli front, and in comparison with the sizes and capabilities, the second October was the largest and deepest, and it can be considered, according to Israeli accounts, the toughest most painful and influential in all aspects.

The question that arose during the first hour of fighting inside the cover settlements. Did Hamas do it on its own responsibility, or did it agree with Hezbollah, i.e. Iran, on what this requires of immediate and direct intervention?

What raised doubts about this issue was the appeal of the head of the Hamas movement, Ismail Haniyeh, who took a general formula, to the allies, to hasten to share in the victory. What is meant by participation is not celebration, of course, but rather fighting.

This was before the Israeli reaction crystallized as this time the complete destruction of Gaza, and the complete eradication of Hamas and those with it, as announced by the Israeli statements, which covered the continuous aerial bombardment to the point of turning neighborhoods into rubble. Without hiding the purpose of this, which is to pave the way for ground intervention.

I am writing this article on the sixth day of the fierce war between the “Al-Aqsa Flood” and the “Iron Swords.” During its short time frame, Israel mobilized about 400,000 soldiers in anticipation of a surprise on the northern front. Behind these thousands, composed of its planes, tanks, and cannons, the aircraft carrier Gerald Ford docked, as a supporter of Israeli power, a participant in the military decision, and a warning to Hezbollah against interference. American spokesmen did not stop saying that they had no evidence of an Iranian role in what was happening.

No one except the narrow circle in Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and Hezbollah knows whether there is agreed-upon coordination according to one plan. Or was the matter left to individual assessments, which believed that the size of the achievement, when achieved, would be a logical and automatic incentive to achieve what Haniyeh called for, who was apparently surprised by what happened, that the allies must hasten to share the victory with us.

6 days in which very limited clashes took place on the southern Lebanon front, and the question is: Was Hezbollah’s intention to intervene if the matter had remained merely an Israeli-invasion war, or did the American warning work decisively, as it is not right to ignore it and consider it a maneuver, as the aircraft carrier that arrived, called for another one, and this is something that Hezbollah and Iran deserve to take into consideration.

Gaza has reached a state of complete devastation and a siege that has tightened to the point of suffocation. Everything that is being done for it is an Egyptian and international effort to calm the situation for a few hours, for food and medicine to arrive, and Hamas and its fellow factions continue to withstand, bomb, and penetrate the Israeli lines with courage and boldness, as it appears that its missile stock is more than sufficient, and our brother Ismail Haniyeh continues his call to the allies to Share the victory with him. No one knows what happened and what will happen. Perhaps the coming days will reveal more and clearer facts. Most importantly, Gaza before the war, Gaza destroyed during it, and Gaza after it remain Palestinian in spirit, heart, belonging, and survival.
