Hamas Publishes Its Second Account Regarding the Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood

On December 25, 2025, the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) published what it called its second account regarding the Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood, which it launched on October 7, 2023, against settlements in the Gaza envelope.

The account came in a document titled "Al-Aqsa Flood.. Two Years of Endurance and the Will for Liberation," and the movement published it in both Arabic and English.

The movement stated in its statement that Al-Aqsa Flood "was not just a military event, but a blessed moment of birth, and the emergence of a free consciousness without deception or falsification." It added, "After two years of genocide and endurance, our narrative shines clear: a people that cannot be erased, a resistance that endures and is not defeated, and a memory that is not forgotten."

Hamas affirmed in its statement that "an independent Palestinian state, with Jerusalem as its capital, and the return of refugees to their land, is not a dream, but a goal recognized by all international and humanitarian covenants, and a historical and political entitlement imposed by a people who endured genocide and did not break."

The movement documented in its book the events of two years of the battle, reviewed the motives of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood and its historical contexts as a resistant response to occupation, addressed the military course of the war in the Gaza Strip, documenting the extent of destruction and casualties, while highlighting the Palestinian people's steadfastness against displacement policies.

Hamas reviewed the political efforts it made to stop the aggression on the sector, including dealing with international initiatives and prisoner exchange agreements, and addressed the strategic achievements of its battle, most notably bringing the Palestinian issue back to the forefront of the global scene and isolating the Israeli occupation legally and morally.

The movement concludes its book by affirming the failure of plans to liquidate the issue, emphasizing the right to self-determination and managing national affairs without external guardianship.

Hamas's account came in 8 chapters:

Chapter One: The Flood.. Motives and Contexts.

Chapter Two: Al-Aqsa Flood - The Blessed Crossing Day (October 7, 2023).

Chapter Three: Investigating the October 7 Attack: Yes to Revealing the Facts.
