هذه روايتنا.. لماذا طوفان الأقصى؟

This official memorandum issued by the Islamic Resistance Movement "Hamas" outlines the rationale and objectives behind the "Al-Aqsa Flood" operation launched on October 7, 2023. Structured around five key themes, the document situates the operation within a century-long context of colonial and military occupation in Palestine, emphasizing the historical dispossession of the Palestinian people since 1918. The memorandum presents the operation as a legitimate response to prolonged Israeli aggression, including a 17-year blockade on Gaza and repeated military assaults.Hamas asserts that the operation targeted Israeli military sites with the aim of securing the release of Palestinian prisoners through a potential exchange, while adhering to ethical principles that prohibit harm to civilians. The document refutes allegations of civilian targeting and other war crimes, citing evidence and testimonies to challenge Israeli narratives.Furthermore, Hamas calls for impartial international investigations into crimes committed in the occupied Palestinian territories, urging global powers and the International Criminal Court to uphold justice. The movement reaffirms its identity as a national liberation organization grounded in moderate Islamic values, advocating for coexistence and rejecting religious coercion.The memorandum concludes by demanding an immediate end to Israeli aggression, lifting the blockade on Gaza, holding Israel accountable for its actions, and supporting the Palestinian right to resist occupation under international law.<br>
