I am not exactly certain why Hamas conducted the atrocious attack 7 October and called it Al-Aqsa Flood. I am not privy to the reason.
Is it possible because in every Ramadan every year in Al-Aqsa, civilian worshippers are always always attacked by Israel Forces using stun grenades, rubber-tip bullets, batons, rifle butts, kicks, punches, boot stomps, cuffs and all other sorts of physical punishment?
Ramadan in Al-Aqsa 2023
And Ramadan in Al-Aqsa 2022 was also same old raids, and accompanying Israel Forces in the tensions were the highly vitriolic Ben Gvir, lambasting the civilians. The Ben Gvir that today is influential for the war and zionism.
It happens every year. This year they decided to cordon Al-Aqsa fully with barbed wires. And Yoev Gallant refers to Ramadan in a negative light.
At least they got their Greater Israel fulfilled by completing their Temple Mount.
