The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) introduced a significant twist to the narrative surrounding the events of the al-Aqsa Flood Operation on Oct. 7 after its spokesman initially claimed the attack was a retaliatory act for the assassination of Qasem Soleimani. Hamas quickly refuted the comments of spokesperson Ramezan Sharif, prompting the IRGC to later retract the statement. Sharif stated that during the al-Aqsa Flood, more than 200 commanders and a total of 1,500 civilians were killed.
