Hamas:

Al-Aqsa Flood… Two Years of Legendary Steadfastness and Confrontation

Today marks the second anniversary of the blessed Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood, October 7th, the day of the glorious crossing, the day when the sons of Palestine, the sons of our valiant resistance, drew the first line on the path to the freedom of Palestine.

The second anniversary of the glorious crossing passes, and the battle is still ongoing, with its continuous repercussions casting political and military shadows over the region and the area, having constituted a major turning point in the political and military landscape of the region.

Two years, and the enemy continues its brutal war against our steadfast Palestinian people and its massacres against unarmed civilians, amidst shameful international silence and complicity, and unprecedented Arab abandonment.

Two years of pain, injustice, oppression, great suffering, and immense sacrifices, while the resistance’s eye looks toward the freedom of Jerusalem, Al-Aqsa, and Palestine, all of Palestine.

Two years of popular steadfastness, rallying around the resistance, and the heroism of the sons and owners of the land, in the face of the land’s occupying strangers, the riff-raff.

Two years, and our people remain rooted in their land, adhering to their legitimate rights, in the face of plans for liquidation and forced displacement.

Two years, during which our people have offered a large constellation of their sons and leaders as martyrs on the path to freedom, led alongside the sons of our people by the leaders of the valiant resistance, foremost among them the martyred leaders: the great martyr Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of the great Flood, the martyr Yahya Sinwar, Saleh Al-Arouri, Mohammed Deif, and other great martyrs on the path to freedom.

Two years of legendary resilience and steadfastness by the valiant Palestinian resistance, in the face of the most severe settler-colonial occupation known to humanity.

Two years, and the banner of our people has not fallen; two years, and the fortresses have not been breached, nor have our positions been seized from us.

Two years, and our people wield their legitimate weapon in defense of their constants and national rights, in the face of zionist oppression and arrogance.

Two years, and beyond, steadfastness upon steadfastness. Two years, and our people are rooted in their land, rallying around their resistance, adhering to their national constants, and their right to self-determination, far from illegitimate guardianship projects, with their eye looking toward Al-Quds, Al-Aqsa, and Palestine, all of Palestine.

Two years, and we carry Gaza, and Palestine, all of Palestine, with its great people, their pain, their oppression, their suffering, and their hopes, in our minds and hearts, and above our heads, moving forward with it toward the precincts of Noble Jerusalem and the Blessed Al-Aqsa.

Palestinian Resistance Factions:

Two years since the most horrific war of genocide in history, committed by the zionazi enemy against our people amid the failure and silence of the hypocritical international community. Despite the pain, wounds, great sacrifices, the brutality of the massacres, and the unprecedented war throughout history, the criminal zionist enemy and its allies have failed to achieve their declared goals, most notably eliminating the resistance and forcibly recovering the zionist captives.

On the second anniversary of the immortal Al-Aqsa Flood Battle, we express our pride in the legendary epic written by our great people in the Gaza Strip. This steadfastness served as the rock upon which all the malicious plans and conspiracies of the zionist enemy were shattered.

The Al-Aqsa Flood Battle, which began on October 7th and is still ongoing, constituted a historical milestone in our resistance project. It was a natural response to the zionist schemes targeting our national cause and contributed to the collapse of all the lies and black propaganda marketed by the zionist entity and its criminal leaders. What happened in the United Nations hall during the speech of war criminal Netanyahu is clear evidence of this.

The option of resistance in all its forms will remain the only way to confront the usurping zionist enemy. No one has the right or is permitted to relinquish the weapon of the Palestinian people—this legitimate weapon guaranteed by all international laws and covenants—which Palestinian generations will inherit generation after generation until the liberation of their land and holy sites, and the achievement of freedom and their legitimate rights, regardless of the magnitude of the sacrifices and costs.

On this glorious anniversary, we call upon the Arab and Islamic masses to take the initiative and go out into the streets and squares in all capitals and cities in support of Palestine and the resistance, in solidarity with our people, and in rejection of the crimes of genocide and the holocaust committed by the zionist machine of oppression.

We extend greetings to all fronts of support in the great struggling Yemen, the resistance of Lebanon, the authenticity of Iraq, and the heroism and courage of Iran for their steadfast, principled, and epic stances. We also extend greetings to the souls of the great martyrs, foremost among them Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Sayyed Hashem Safieddine, and Commanders Mohammad Bagheri, Hossein Salami, Gholam Ali Rashid, Mohammad Saeed Izadi, and all the martyrs who ascended in all arenas and fronts of confrontation, support, and assistance.

We pray for the souls of the leaders of the Flood and the planners of this great heroic epic, foremost among them the great leaders Ismail Haniyeh, Yahya Sinwar, and Mohammed Deif, and a long list of our people’s leaders and national symbols from all Palestinian resistance factions, whose heroism and biographies history will write in letters of light.

In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
A statement issued by the Resistance Committees in Palestine:

Two years have passed since the Zionist holocaust and extermination that our people are subjected to under unprecedented international silence and hypocrisy, during which the Zionist entity has proven itself to be a cancerous gland spreading death, destruction, and killing wherever it is found, and that it is an entity based on crimes and terrorism that embodies absolute evil and knows only blood and aggression, with no solution for humanity except its eradication.

On the second anniversary of the Battle of the Al-Aqsa Flood and the Great Crossing on October 7, we affirm that this battle represented a major turning point in the path of resistance and our Palestinian people, as it was a decisive station in the history of the conflict with the Zionist entity, striking at the arrogance of haughtiness, breaking its security, military, and political systems, and shattering the myth of the invincible Zionist army.

The Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood and the epic steadfastness of our Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip represented a major turning point, as it restored the spirit of the great Egyptian crossing on October 6, 1973, and once again proved the ability of Arab fighters to break all forms of modern technological superiority and make sacrifices, rebuilding spirit, pride, and dignity among all nations.

The international isolation faced by the Zionist entity confirms that the Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood formed a revolution in global awareness, awakening the consciences of free people, and will have major strategic consequences in favor of the Palestinian cause after dismantling Zionist narratives and revealing the true face of the racist fascist Zionist entity and its leaders, which can no longer hide behind false claims.

The Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood has proven with conclusive evidence that the Zionist enemy is an enemy of all nations, and confronting it and countering its expansionist plans has become an urgent necessity and priority for all nations’ peoples and all free people around the world.

The direct American green light through political support, military aid, and diplomatic cover proves that America is responsible for every drop of blood shed, every child killed, every family buried under rubble. It also proves that America supports and encourages Zionism to continue committing atrocities without any deterrents.

We call for an immediate agreement on a comprehensive national strategy to confront all plots against our people’s cause. What our people face requires quickly closing ranks on differences to prioritize national interests. We must adopt a unified strategy to defend our nation’s existence.

We affirm that confrontation through resistance is crucial for countering Zionist crimes; therefore any talk about disarming Palestinians aims at legitimizing Zionism’s existence. No one should discuss disarming us because Palestine will only be liberated through resistance.

We salute with pride those who resist across Lebanon’s frontlines as well as Yemenis’, Iraqis’, Iranians’, these fronts draw new equations today shattering illusions held by Netanyahu’s terrorist regime confirming unity among nations holds power over Zionists’ ambitions.

It is upon us now more than ever before – we shall honor fallen heroes holding onto their legacy keeping up fight until final victory eradicating Israeli occupation forevermore.

Al-Quds Brigades – military media:

O masses of our patient and steadfast Palestinian people, today marks the second anniversary of the heroic Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood, coinciding with the thirty-eighth annual anniversary of our blessed jihadist launch, which marked a pivotal stage in the history of the struggle against the Zionist enemy. In it, the Palestinian resistance wrote one of the greatest battles against Nazism and Zionist oppression of our people over decades. The enemy practiced all forms of killing, destruction, and displacement against our people everywhere in blessed Al-Quds, the occupied West Bank, and the Gaza Strip. It bombed, besieged, and starved, recording the worst massacre and tragedy throughout the ages, witnessed silently by the watching world.

Two years ago, the Palestinian resistance carried out a blessed operation against enemy army sites along the disappearing fence east of the Gaza Strip. Our heroic fighters wrote magnificent scenes of bravery, courage, and sacrifice, capturing a large number of soldier and commander prisoners. They engaged in direct clashes from zero point, during which our fighters killed hundreds of enemy soldiers and captured dozens. Our resistance presented convoys of its best fighters as martyrs, wounded, and prisoners.

Since that date, our resistance has continued to confront this criminal, murderous enemy, which declared a mad and deadly war of mass killing of tens of thousands of unarmed citizens in Gaza, mostly children, women, and elderly, but it found no way to undermine the determination of our steadfast, deeply rooted people holding on to their land and homeland.

For two years of fighting, the resistance has sought to stop this war and alleviate the suffering of our people, offering all necessary flexibility to conclude an agreement whose sole condition is to guarantee the cessation of war and lifting the siege on our people. However, Netanyahu’s government continued the war to achieve the goals of its extremist coalition.

Two years since the Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood, we continue to face the enemy army’s divisions, brigades, and battalions, which destroy homes, streets, and buildings in Gaza. We confront its forces and inflict losses in the longest battle with this enemy since the establishment of its temporary entity. We have presented hundreds of fighters and leaders as martyrs who were at the forefront of tens of thousands of our Palestinian people during two years of fierce fighting and unparalleled steadfastness with minimal resources on the path to Al-Quds and to liberation. This battle witnessed great steadfastness by our resistance, preventing the enemy from achieving its declared goals.

We, in the Al-Quds Brigades, on the second anniversary of the blessed Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood, affirm the following:

1- Our people’s resistance, led by the Al-Quds Brigades and Al-Qassam Brigades, continues as long as the occupation exists, and will spare no effort in fighting it. We have prepared ourselves for a long attrition war that will not stop or retreat except with its demise.

2- The fate of the so-called “Gideon’s Chariots 2” operation, which carries out systematic destruction, mass killing, and psychological terrorism against our people, will only be more disappointment, defeat, and collapse.

3- We affirm that we and all Palestinian resistance factions will spare no effort to find a way to end this war and the suffering of our people in the Gaza Strip, and we have sought to achieve this for many months.

4- We affirm that enemy prisoners will only see the light through an honorable exchange deal in which the Zionist entity commits to ending the war, and any other way will not bring them back.

5- We renew the affirmation that the resistance’s weapon is a weapon found to liberate the land and fight the enemy and will not be sheathed except by achieving these two goals.

6- We salute our blessed brigades in the occupied West Bank, which were an integral part of this battle. Salute to the Jenin, Nablus, Tulkarm, and Tubas brigades and all the resistors, and we call on them to escalate the confrontation and continue striking this enemy with all strength and capability.

7- We salute the souls of the Jordanian fedayeen and the heroes of the siege-breaking fleets and boats, and the free people of the world who support and advocate for our cause against American-Zionist arrogance and crime.

8- We salute our heroic prisoners in the Zionist torture and oppression prisons, hold their hands tightly, and know that the enemy’s policy is harsh against them, but we promise them that freedom is near and relief is inevitably coming.

9- We send a great salute to the brothers in arms and blood in Hezbollah, who have been an important and great support for us and have presented their best leaders and fighters in this blessed battle, foremost among them His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.

10- We send a salute to our brothers in Yemen of dignity and pride, especially our brothers in the Ansar Allah movement, the true helpers and supporters who continue to strike the Zionist entity with rockets, drones, and explosive boats in support of Gaza and its people for two years.

11- We salute the brothers in the Islamic Republic of Iran who were direct partners in this battle through three direct confrontations with the enemy, during which they presented a great group of martyr scholars and senior leaders. Among them, we remember the martyr of Palestine, Al-Hajj Ramadan, who was an integral part of all our preparations to confront this usurping entity.

“Our jihad continues and our fighting goes on until Jerusalem, God willing”

Statement by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine
On the Second Anniversary of the Al-Aqsa Flood Battle – October 7
“They came, so no compromise… Glory to the people of resistance”
The Popular Front: The October 7 operation is a resounding cry in the face of Zionist tyranny, returning the Palestinian cause to global awareness
On the second anniversary of the October 7 operation, we recall a pivotal moment in the march of a people who have never known surrender or submission. Resistance on that day confirmed that it is the essence of Palestinian existence and its living spirit, and was a resounding cry in the face of injustice, tyranny, and occupation brutality, and a bold declaration to the world that the Palestinian people are alive, steadfast on their land and identity, and clinging to their right to freedom and dignity.

The October 7 operation formed a strategic turning point that changed the equations of conflict and returned the Palestinian cause to the heart of global awareness. It proved that free will can shake arrogant power systems no matter how technically superior they may be. It exposed the fragility of the Zionist entity in front of fighters with solid determination and faith in the justice of their cause.

The battle transcended its military dimension to confirm that resistance is a fixed approach and that peoples who cling to their rights are capable of breaking fear barriers and remaking history.

However, the Zionist response, directly supported by American imperialism and Western lobbies, was not just a military attack but a blatant embodiment of organized state terrorism as a colonial tool par excellence. In Gaza, humanity witnessed systematic extermination unseen for decades, not only in terms of brutality but also in terms of colonial mentality that justifies starvation as a weapon, siege as a tool for collective strangulation, and destruction of vital infrastructure as part of an organized extermination project. Hospitals, schools, universities, water sources, and electricity were not only targeted but homes were razed over their inhabitants’ heads. Basic life necessities were lost, hundreds of thousands were displaced repeatedly. All this reveals the true face of colonialism – “a system that sees Palestinian human life as an obstacle to dominance.”

The joining of Lebanese, Yemeni, Iranian, and Iraqi resistance forces to support Gaza reflects unity in destiny and depth in solidarity. This confirms Palestine is not alone against occupation. Lebanese and Yemeni resistance has proven its ability for continuous confrontation. Despite immense sacrifices, resistance proves it’s a path for unifying Arab peoples and restoring their dignity.

Unprecedented global mobilization against occupation has shown international pressure on US administration leaders can restore human moral compass towards Palestine.

Palestinian flags waving worldwide during massive marches symbolize great symbolic achievement giving back attention to an issue occupation tried erasing.

We at PFLP affirm:

1. We proudly salute our heroic martyrs especially leaders & fighters whose blood mixed confirming Gaza’s resilience & greet prisoners & wounded affirming sacrifices remain eternal source pride inspiration
2. October 7 marked crucial station continuing struggle since occupation began responding naturally ongoing crimes against Gaza West Bank Jerusalem
3. Under intensified war crimes particularly Gaza we prioritize reaching comprehensive immediate ceasefire lifting siege introducing aid rebuilding

4. The US administration bears responsibility for any attempts by the occupation to foil negotiations or continue the war of extermination, which necessitates Arab and international pressure and continued global mobilization to prevent any overturning of the agreement at any stage.
5. We reject foreign dictates and affirm that the administration of the Gaza Strip is an internal Palestinian affair, and an agreement was reached under Egyptian auspices on a temporary administrative committee of technocrats until a national unity government is formed to assume its responsibilities in the West Bank and Gaza, which requires an urgent national meeting to put the Palestinian house in order, rebuild institutions, and confront the enormous challenges facing the Palestinian cause.
6. We affirm our people’s right to legitimate resistance in all its forms, particularly armed resistance, and the need to escalate resistance in the West Bank to confront annexation schemes, settlement policies, Judaization, and attempts by the occupation to settle the conflict.
7. We call for a strong and central Arab and Islamic stance to consolidate a comprehensive ceasefire, utilizing all papers of Arab and Islamic strength, activating the role of masses and free people, and confronting all forms of normalization with the occupation.
8. We call for continued global mobilization to pressure the occupation and its supporters, hold war criminals accountable internationally, particularly Netanyahu, impose deterrent measures to end impunity, expand freedom flotillas and convoys towards Gaza to break the siege and expose the occupation’s crimes.

In conclusion, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine affirms, on this immortal anniversary and in light of the ongoing Zionist war of extermination, that our people’s steadfastness and the legitimacy of their cause will remain firm and unwavering, that the blood of martyrs and heroes’ determination are our guiding light on the path towards return and freedom. Our free people’s voice will remain louder than all Zionist killing machines. We affirm that Palestine will return to its original inhabitants sooner or later from its river to its sea thanks to its sons’ resistance and sacrifices as well as solidarity from free people around the world.

Statement issued by Hezbollah on the second anniversary of the Al-Aqsa Flood:

On the second anniversary of the heroic Al-Aqsa Flood battle, the battle of sacrifice, liberation, will, and steadfastness, the battle confronting injustice, occupation, and defending the sanctities and dignity, Hezbollah renews its pledge that it stands with the resistant and steadfast people of Palestine, who have inscribed with their steadfastness and patience mixed with tragedies and pains the highest lessons of pride and dignity in the face of the most brutal Israeli criminal entity, managed by a brutal American administration, and before a submissive, shackled world that watches massacres, killings, and destruction without moving a muscle.

This sacred battle has revealed from its first moment the true face of the criminal Zionist entity, stripped of any human attribute, supported by the arrogant American tyrant, trampling on all laws, international resolutions, and humanitarian considerations, violating the sovereignty of states by attacking them and their peoples, deeply involved in committing massacres, genocide, and waging a war of starvation and displacement against the people of Gaza, openly revealing its expansionist and aggressive plans.

The security, stability, and future of the region depend on the unity of stance and word, cooperation among Arab and Islamic countries and their peoples, and the consolidation of ranks in support of the resistance and its choice, translating positions rejecting the Israeli aggression into actions that deter this enemy who understands only the language of strength and confrontation. This nation must realize that this entity is a dagger planted in its heart, a malignant cancerous tumor that must be excised before it spreads and leads wherever it settles to destruction and ruin.

We in Hezbollah and its Islamic resistance, following the path of the master of the nation’s martyrs, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah (may God be pleased with him), his companion Al-Hashemi (may God be pleased with him), and the martyrs, continue to preserve the trust of the resistance and the blood of the martyrs. On this anniversary, we send a salute of reverence and respect to the righteous leader martyrs and all the martyrs who ascended on the path to Jerusalem, to the wounded and prisoners, and to all who stood, supported, and sacrificed for Jerusalem and Palestine.

Salute to the free and steadfast people of Palestine, rooted in their land, who faced the Zionist killing machine with bare chests. Salute to the hungry children of Gaza, the bereaved mothers, and the free hearts embracing hope for imminent relief.

Salute to the Palestinian resistance in all its factions, to the brave fighters who have been waging for two years the sacred defense battle for Jerusalem and the nation, confronting the fiercest tyrants on earth in an epic saga.

Salute to all who supported and aided Gaza and its people, to the Islamic Republic of Iran, led by Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei (may his shadow last), and to its people, government, and security and military forces. To proud Yemen, its leadership and people, and its valiant military forces. To Iraq, with its resistance, religious authority, people, and government. We also salute the free peoples of the world who raised the voice of Palestine loudly and conveyed to the world the cries and pains of the children and women of Gaza.

This great historic occasion will remain immortal in history, about a people who revolted against the occupier who usurped their land, fought, sacrificed, and persevered, and by God’s permission will triumph, for they deserve victory, and Palestine will return whole to its people, despite all conspirators, normalizers, and deserters. This is a divine promise, and God does not break His promise.
