Hamas and Hezbollah commemorated the October 7 2023 attack on Israel as a landmark Palestinian success. Hamas termed the civilian assault a feat of strategy and surprise, accused Israel of genocide, and called for courts to try Netanyahu. It praised slain leaders Haniyeh and Sinwar as inspirations for independence.

Hezbollah hailed the raid as legitimate and globally disruptive, claiming political wins exceeded battlefield costs and that Hamas survival marks Israeli miscalculation amid Western protests. Israeli lawmaker Simcha Rothman anticipates early next year indictments for some of 300 suspects through a May-authorized tribunal, stressing public need for swift justice over the dead.
