300 days of Hezbollah attacks: "Between us and you are the battlefield, the days and the nights".
Supporting the "Al-Aqsa Flood": Hezbollah on the road to Jerusalem.
On 7 October 2023, Hamas's military wing, the al-Qassam Brigades, in coordination with other Palestinian armed factions based in the Gaza Strip, launched the military operation “Al-Aqsa Flood”, a surprise attack against military posts, bases and kibbutzim on Israeli territory and in Israeli-occupied areas. Already in the following days, Hezbollah undertook military operations on the Israeli-Palestinian border and extensive propaganda in support of the Palestinians, increasing the risk of an escalation of the regional conflict.
Unlike the Palestinian armed groups, however, Hezbollah has so far limited itself to conducting, albeit numerous, attacks in various border areas. It is important to specify that the Lebanese battalions of the al-Qassam Brigades (the military wing of Hamas) and the al-Quds Brigades (the military wing of Islamic Jihad) are also active in the Israeli-Palestinian border areas and have conducted numerous attacks in northern Israel or in the areas of the occupied farms, obviously with the approval of Hezbollah, confirming an alliance relationship between them. On the other hand, the collaboration between Hezbollah and the al-Qassam and al-Quds brigades is a fact, also confirmed by a video published on al-Qassam's private channels in late October, recorded several months earlier, which showed an operations room with computers and maps and several militants discussing a plan of attack against Israel, from which one can recognise on the uniforms the badges of various Iranian or pro-Iranian groups and militias, which were referred to by militants of the Palestinian al-Qassam, al-Quds and Martyrs of Al-Aqsa brigades, such as the IRGC, Lebanese Hezbollah, Hashd Shaabi, Kataib Hezbollah, Asa'ib Ahl al-Haqq, Harakat Nujaba and Fatimiyoun.
Hezbollah, today, published an infographic summarising its operations in the Al-Aqsa Flood from 8 October 2023 to 3 August 2024 at 4pm, marking 300 days of battle.
