3rd Day of Op. Al-Aqsa Flood: The Palestinian Nightmare Continues

Palestinian people are heroically confronting the Israeli aggression on Monday, the third day of the history-making battle of Al-Aqsa Flood. More than 48 hours have passed on the surprise operation, and despite the brutal Israeli raids, Gaza fighters are still pouring into the Israeli settlements bordering Gaza in an unprecedent incursion into the Palestinian territories since they were occupied in 1948.

Israeli occupation army announced on Monday that the fighting with Palestinian resistance fighters was still in seven to eight locations around the Gaza Strip inside the occupied territories.

“We’re still fighting. There are between seven to eight open places around Gaza (where) we have still warriors fighting terrorists,” military spokesman Richard Hecht told reporters.

“We thought by yesterday we would have full control,” he added, hoping that the occupation army “will control by the end of the day.”

Meanwhile, the Sderot municipality ordered Israeli settlers there to remain locked in their homes due to “fears of a security incident.”

The Times of Israel then reported that Israeli occupation forces engaged in a shootout with several Hamas fighters at a municipal swimming pool in Sderot. Casualties were also reported.

Brutal Massacres

On the other hand, the occupation forces continued their aggression against Gaza, with multiple new massacres causing dozens of deaths and injuries.

Late Sunday and early Monday, raids were renewed in northeastern and northwestern regions of Gaza, targeting citizens’ homes, mosques and public institutions with violent and indiscriminate bombings using concussive missiles.
