The Aqsa Flood operation carried out by Hamas members against Israel had a bombshell effect on the world agenda. Hundreds of people were kidnapped during the Hamas attacks, in which hundreds of civilians lost their lives and thousands were injured.
Pushing the button on Hamas’ operation, Israel launched the Iron Swords operation in the Gaza Strip and declared war on Hamas.
MISSILE ATTACK ON LIVE BROADCAST
After the attack, Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu announced that they would make Hamas pay an “unprecedented price” and Israel declared war on Hamas.
Following the declaration of a state of emergency and mobilization in Israel, an operation was launched against the Gaza Strip.
Al Jazeera correspondent El Sayed, who was in Gaza at the time, faced the most brutal aspect of the war. While El Sayed, who was on live broadcast in a very densely populated area, was giving information about the ‘rocket rain’ on Gaza, a missile hit a house behind him. While the building turned into a fireball after the missile fell and collapsed, El Sayed had to take cover screaming.
His news anchor colleague said at that moment, “Please hide. If you are able to do this safely, you can explain to us what is happening. If you are not, please go to a safe place.” said.
HE CONTINUED TO GIVE INFORMATION THROUGH TEARS!
El Sayed reacted to the incident with tears and said, “No, it’s okay. This attack is a missile attack on the Palestinian tower in the middle of Gaza City.” said.
