Claims linking Operation al-Aqsa Flood to Iran, Hezbollah have no value: UN mission
Iran's permanent mission to the United Nations has dismissed US media reports alleging that the Islamic Republic had foreknowledge of Operation al-Aqsa Flood, launched last year by Palestinian resistance fighters against the Israeli regime.
The mission made this announcement on Saturday in response to allegations raised by The New York Times and Wall Street Journal that Israel has gained access to documents regarding Iran's knowledge of the operation.
It pointed out that even the Hamas leadership in Doha, Qatar, has stated they were unaware of the operation, which was designed and managed solely by the Qassam Brigades, Hamas's military wing based in Gaza.
“Any claim that links this operation to Iran or Hezbollah (the Lebanese resistance movement), either in part or in general, has no value and is considered a fabrication,” the mission emphasized.
The operation, launched on October 7, 2023, came in response to the Israeli regime’s intensified aggression against Palestinians. It saw the fighters storming the occupied territories, taking control of Israeli military bases and illegal settlements around Gaza, and taking more than 240 Israelis captive.
The Israeli regime brought Gaza under a genocidal war following the operation. The war has so far claimed the lives of at least 42,126 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and wounded 98,117 people.
