"In the distance, Palestinian fighters run towards the Israeli community. Erez is the main crossing point between the besieged Gaza Strip and Israel. Like other fences that separate them, this fence is heavily militarized and equipped with surveillance equipment. For many lucky Palestinian residents allowed to leave Gaza, Erez is no longer unfamiliar. This is where daily workers cross into Israel for work. However, there are hardly any Israeli soldiers in sight. 'There is no Israeli defense,' Omar was told that no Israelis can be found within a three-kilometer radius of the fence, and it is safe to leave Gaza and walk towards the flat land of Israel in front of them."

People started to dare to cross the border. Those who have been trapped in Gaza felt a freedom they had never felt before. The sight of the Palestinian land they had left behind for so long made them emotional. However, the happiness was also accompanied by danger. Israeli fighter jets tried to disperse the group heading towards Erez, and an airstrike occurred. "But the people didn't care and kept running towards the border. They didn't care about anything." After Omar crossed into Israel and arrived in the Zionist-occupied Palestinian land, he was overwhelmed with emotions.

"People at the border whom we have witnessed shooting children and young people, killing us in the past, now we see them in their weakest condition." As Omar walked, he passed many dead Israeli forces. "I took pictures of them." Then he started seeing Israeli prisoners being brought to Gaza on motorcycles and cars. It is estimated that dozens of Israeli citizens are now detained in Gaza. Despite the death and destruction around Omar and other Palestinian residents who dare to leave their protected homes, they cannot hold back their feelings of joy."

Omar said it felt like a scene in a movie. The Israeli soldiers have surrendered and are afraid. "I have spent my whole life under siege, and I have covered all the events, wars, and parades, and everything related to the Gaza Strip. But this is the first time I have felt freedom." Omar and his family have been displaced twice due to bomb attacks in the last 24 hours. On Sunday, Omar went to photograph the family's house that had been destroyed by an Israeli airstrike. Although the family has become refugees, they still feel that a serious challenge has been posed to Israel and its blockade.

"This is the first time we have resisted and entered our land. Every time, they come to us, kill us, kill our children, and execute entire civilian families." Usually accustomed to covering repeated tragedies in Gaza, now Omar finds himself reporting on events that exceed all expectations. "I took photos of victory and returned to our land. For the first time in my career, I covered an event not as a victim, but as a winner returning to my land."
