Times Of Israel: Sinwar’s Al-Aqsa Flood washed Iran’s axis away, but new groups could reach Israel
Iran's backing of Hamas, particularly under new leadership in 2017, aimed to strengthen its influence around Israel. However, the October 7, 2023, attack by Hamas, dubbed the “Al-Aqsa Flood,” backfired, leading to significant losses for Hamas and its allies, while Israel regained control and launched counteroffensives.
The fallout has destabilized Iran's position in the region, with its proxies like Hezbollah suffering heavy losses. The weakening of the Iranian axis may open opportunities for Sunni groups, including potential shifts in Iraq and Syria, while Turkey seeks to expand its influence in a post-Assad landscape.
