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. Some Palestinian political and armed movements and Hezbollah have both been supported by Iran for years and both see the weakening or defeat of Israel as their main goal. Unlike the Palestinian armed groups, however, Hezbollah has so far not gone to war exclusively for the Palestinian cause but has limited itself to conducting, albeit numerous, attacks in various border areas. It is important to specify that the Lebanese battalions of both the al-Qassam Brigades (Hamas’ military wing) and the al-Quds Brigades (Islamic Jihad's military wing) are also active in the Israeli-Palestinian border areas, and have conducted numerous attacks in Northern Israel or the areas of the occupied farms, obviously with Hezbollah’s approval, 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, dealing with 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.
