Hamas’s deadly attack on October 7 last year took Israel back to “square zero,” a senior member of the Palestinian terror group says.
“‘Al-Aqsa Flood’ returned the occupation to square zero and threatened its existence,” Khaled Mashaal, the former head of Hamas, says on the Al Arabiya TV station, using the group’s name for the attack that killed 1,200 people and saw 251 taken hostage, sparking the Gaza war.
