Afrasyant - October 7 marks the third anniversary of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood launched by the Palestinian resistance factions in the Gaza Strip against Israeli military positions and settlements in the heart of the Gaza Strip, marking three years of a comprehensive war of extermination and a variety of crimes of mass destruction, starvation, displacement, siege, and the denial of food, medicine and other humanitarian aid, which the occupying power continues to commit against homes, hospitals, refugee camps, schools, mosques and churches throughout the Gaza Strip.
Statistics from the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza indicate that at least 74,243 people, including 21,000 children, including 1,115 infants, have been killed, and more than 175,000 injuries and disabilities have been recorded, and women have accounted for 70% of the martyrs and wounded.
If these horrific figures confirm the extreme levels of brutality reached by the Israeli war of extermination, the official figures issued by the occupying power indicate that 2,347 people were killed and 87,000 injured in the Gaza Strip.
The ranks of the various military, security and settlement forces. These are indications of the myth of an invincible Israeli army, and they prove a heavy price that the government of Benjamin Netanyahu has paid and continues to pay in the context of its abject failure to achieve any of the major or minor goals it has declared as a justification for the brutal war against nearly two million unarmed civilian residents of the Gaza Strip.
The Palestinian people, mainly in the Gaza Strip but throughout the West Bank, occupied Jerusalem and the rest of historic Palestine, were the first and last victims of the Israeli barbarism from all shackles and free from any political, military, security or diplomatic deterrent, internal or external.
The debate is therefore legitimate about the consequences of the "Al-Aqsa Flood" on this humanitarian level, the loss of human beings, urbanization and infrastructure, and on the level of the corresponding gain in the political, human rights and diplomatic fields that should not be overlooked or even separated from the integrated balances that were and continue to be the makers of the equations of October 7.
It is clear that three years of Israeli brutality have re-placed the Palestinian cause at the forefront of the agenda of international attention, and ensured the steadfastness of the Palestinian people and their enormous sacrifices by reactivating broad international public opinion that has penetrated many of the impregnable fortresses built by Zionist pressure groups over the centuries.
The international legal accountability of the occupying power has also made unprecedented strides, amounting to the issuance of an arrest warrant against Netanyahu and his defense minister on charges of committing massacres and war crimes against humanity.
The emancipation of major European powers, such as France, Britain and Australia, is no less valuable than the embarrassment of their historic support for the occupying power, and to join the ranks of Spain, Ireland, Norway and Slovenia to recognize the Palestinian state.
This is a situation that is difficult to compare to the first hours after the "Al-Aqsa Flood" and witnessed what was like the pilgrimage of most Western leaders to the Gaza envelope in solidarity with the occupation.
At the heart of the interactions of the third anniversary, between old equations and new rules of engagement, The necessities of Palestinian national unity remain in force, and the Palestinian people must be given additional elements for survival, steadfastness and confrontation.
