Israel also launched strikes on different parts of gaza, destroying residential buildings and leaving over 230 People Killed and one and 1,700 others injured. Israel has cut off Electricity Supply to the bloccaded strip. Leaving hospitals and medical facilities in a tie spot amit a flow of casualties. Rocket fire from gaza, palestinian fighters carrying out an unprecedented offensive with thousands of rockets, sirens sounding across israel, including tel aviv and alquets. Israel is being attacked ferociously. This was by far the biggest operation by resistance groups against israel in decades. These are the scenes of benkorian airport. Maybe this statement paints a clear picture of what has happened. We decided to put an end to all the crimes of the occupation. Their time for rampaging without being held accountable is over. We announced operation alaxsa flood and we fired in the first strike of 20 minutes more than 500. Rockets, that was the announcement by the ezidden al qassam brigades, the military wing of the hamas resistance group. Arm clashes along the separation fence with israel near the southern town of hannus were reported to take place. Fighters seen here breaking to the fence. The mood however was different, here where the head of hamasas Political Bureau is seen celebrating the operation carried out not only by hamas fighters, but by. All the resistance fighters in the gaza strap. Such was the case at the jennian refugee camp. Israel has declared a state of war alert striking back, setting the stage for new heavy war. ישראל, לא במبצבים, fighters are seen here inside an Israeli Military camp which shows the shock surprise of israeli army. Here hamas fighters are seen with the captured Israeli Military vehicle. This is a large operation including all Palestinian Resistance groups in the ghaza strip and the occupied west bank, namely hamas, pflp, the eziddin allisam brigades and the Islamic Jihad movements. In the occupied west bank, lions den is also active. Israeli towns are on fire like rohavat in southern israel and ashkalon seen here, burning after resistance rockets landed there, so dire the situation. Israelis were forced to hide in trash bins, meanwile palestinians in the gaza strip are looking for cover while sounding defiant when it comes to Israeli Regime forces. طلعنا من الدار وقاياه من صواريخود وان شاء الله ربنا بينصرنا عليهم عزبونا كثير وان شاء الله الدور عليهم ان شاء الله دائره السوق عليهم ان شاء الله باذن الله اليوم. The war between gaza and israel is not just limited to the gaza strip since the. Resistance group, the lion then is also operating after the janin refugee camp. This war has been the result of decades of negligence by the socalled international community, in which as a result israel has gotten away with the mader of palestinians with the support of its biggest allie, the us. Israel is finding itself on shaky grounds, even though it has mobilized reservists. Or shortages, since reservists, along with pilots have refused to take orders due to its socalled judicial reforms, which is why this announcement by netanyahu may fall on the fears, our enemy will pay a price, the type of which it has never known, that was a statement from netanyahu, the surprise offensive that palestinian fighters executed against the Israeli Regime, is natural outcome of what israel has done with palestinians over the decades. Hisbollah summed it up best. This was decisive response to israels continued occupation. However, hesbollah also added this to its statement, this is message to those seeking normalization with israel, a clear reference to saudi arabia, which is said to be in talks with israel for quote normalization. Ever since this extreme cabinet came into power, it has violated palestinians a daily basis. Not that previous israeli officials did not do that, but this cabinet has done. It at warp speed, which puts into question why saudi arabia would be interested in pursuing a quote normalization, any normalization with israel would be a stab in the back of palestinians. Just the other day, israel announced that it will legitimize the killing of palestinian citizens in new open fire rules. It said the new measures seeks to allow officers to use life fire against palestinian protesters, alassa violations, israeli incursions. Injuring and killing palestinians, all of this in the face of the signence by the international community. How much longer could palestinians endure this. The head of the Political Bureau of the Palestinian ResistanceMovement Hamas says the operation of alaska flood. Against israel will end with the palestinians victory. Ismail hannia said the operation threw the regime off balance within minutes. He said, this is in response to the israeli rads on the alaxa mosk and the blockade of gaza. Hania said, gazabased resistance fighters will not stand adily by as israel intensifies his attacks in the occupied territories. He stress, ala faces real danger as israel is seeking to impose for sovereignty over the holy site. The top mass of. Called for general mobilization and urged resistance movements in the region to join the battle. We were earlier talking to our ghaza correspondent ashref shanan when the Israeli Regime targeted a residential building right next to him. The following video shows the moment the attack happened. Lets take a look and also listen to what ashref had to say. Well, the Israeli Regime said earlier. That at least 35 israelis are missing in the areas around the gaza strip, but hamas, not official numbers here, the media releases, theyre saying at least 50 uh israels uh were captured, but ive seen images and videos on social media, i can tell you the number is much is much higher, they uh, sorry, this is the. Thing behind me, not far from my house, called the the palestine tower uh was hit right now, its about 400 meters or 400 yards away from where were standing, i believe this is not the last hit on that building, i believe it is possibly theres a possibility of more uh air strikes uh hitting. That building, so uh, this was very close to home, a close call, i think uh, and the we hope no one was in that building. Now reactions pour in following palestinies anti israeli attacks that took the regime by surprise on saturday, advisor to irans leader rahim safavi saidwan is proud of the operation and supports palestinians in the fight against the Israeli Regime. Irans Foreign Ministry also reacted saying hamas attacks show the palestinians confidence in the face of. Israelani said the operation was new chapter in armed resistance against the regime. Iraq said operations undertaken by palestinians were natural outcome of decades of oppression by quote designist occupation. Qatars Foreign Ministry issued a statement saying israel is responsible for the ongoing escalation of violence. Kuwait made the similar statements blaming israel for the continued violence. Saudi arabia, turkey, egypt, bahrain. And russia have called for restraint. Press tv has conducted interviews with several residents of the besieg gaza strip following the Resistance Forces largescale operation against israel. They have told us how they feel about the attack of such a scale. Lets hear what they have to say. The Palestinian Resistance groups top of them them brigades have gone down in history for. Heroic actions this morning, history will remember them as heroes who carried their weapons in the face of the Israeli Occupation for the sake of liberation, we breach the borders every time israel assassinates our leaders, the resistance retaliates, but today we started the fight for the sake of alquds, today we defeated one of the worlds powerful armies, this is the biggest achievement in the history of the arab world with distributed sweets, first time witnessing Something Like this, they restored palestinian dignity and raised palestinian expectations. The resistance dragged two Israeli Military jeeps into gaza. Palestinians are telling the whole world that we can restore arab dignity. Early this morning we walk up to the sounds of the barages. We weren able to understand what was going on. Eventually we found that the Palestinian Resistance was making history in the 1948 occupied lands. They were. No israelis to fight back, but the israeli war planes open fire at everyone there, no distinction between press or medical staff. We have never expected Something Like this. This morning, the Palestinian Resistance launch an operation. We expect that there will be injured and marters, and we are ready for that. Its all for the sake of al rods, theres nothing called israel, its our country and our land and we will teach. We were earlier joined by a correspondent gisumishah ahmadi in downtown tehan where a huge crowd have gathered in support of palestinians in the fight against israeli forces. Im located in palestine square downtown tehron. As you can see, a fullfledged celebration is currently under. And support of palestinians, huge crowd has gathered in palestine square, theyre chanting slogans, theyre uh playing music, all of this in support of palestinians and of course i also have to add that since this morning when the news broke out, weve had uh iranian officials reacting to the news about this surprise operation, they have been offering their support, well the first reaction. We had was from aid to the leader uh expressed strong support for palestinians and said that iran will be standing right by palestinians until the end until the day they come out victorious from this battle and then we had of course uh some parliamentarians in the Iranian Parliament offering their support gathering inside. Parliament chanting slogans to support the palestinians, obviously we did have the Foreign Ministry, the spokesman for the Foreign Ministry, also offer his support, the stunning victories of palestines military operation have th their long time supporters around the world, including in france, demonstrators assembled in paris to demand that palestine finally be given the human rights and that western governments and their complicity with tel aviv. Rahim mazari has more on this story. In paris, protesters gathered to express their support for palestines unprecedented and successful surprise military operation against israel, by land, air and sea, and with missiles, drones and even manned hang gliders, the Palestinian Resistance sent illegal settlers fleeing, captured Israeli Soldiers and apprehended Israeli Military equipment, provoking awe in long time propalestinian activists. We are all witnessing incredible. Actions by the Palestinian Armed resistance, who, as far as we know, managed to come out of this huge concentration camp that gaza is, and inflict severe losses, to uh, the Israeli Soldiers and settlers, were looking at the news, every minute, the reasons for the offensive seem to be too many to count, this year has already seen a record annual number of west Bank Children murdered, israel weges 10 police raids every day, and tel aviv recently approved thousands of more illegal settlements, which one palestinian official said was declaration of open war against the palestinian people. Last year, israeli murders of west Bank Palestinians their highest level since 2005, while israels bloccade of gaza since 2007 is routinely labeled a crime against humanity. Israels horrific crimes against palestinians go back many many decades, but so did
