Hamas's cross-border massacres in southern Israel on October 7 of last year sent Israel back 70 years, Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, wrote in Hebrew in a post on X/Twitter on Monday.

"Operation Al-Aqsa Flood set the Zionist regime 70 years back," Khamenei wrote.

"It's amazing to see how much progress the operation has made for the people of Gaza," Chikli wrote, embedding a video purporting to show the dismal conditions in the Gaza Strip. 

Referencing Esmail Qaani

"And anyway, did you find Qaani, or is he still not available?" Chikli added, referring to Brigadier-General Esmail Qaani, commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Quds Force, whose whereabouts remain unknown since Israel’s strike on Hezbollah’s presumed successor, Hashem Safieddine, in southern Beirut on Saturday.
