Abstract

This study uses the hybrid method to design a Toofan Al Aqsa operation model as a new paradigm of resistance for Islamic countries. The current research is developmental in terms of its purpose; In terms of approach, it is done qualitatively and based on meta-synthesis. Based on this, the statistical population of the research includes a collection of articles that have been published from 2020 to 2023 on the subject of Zionism, the Islamic world, Palestine, and the resistance front. The authors selected 71 articles out of 376 by searching among domestic and foreign scientific databases, and after analyzing their content, categories, and concepts were extracted and their prioritization was done using Shannon's entropy method. Based on the findings 49 concepts were identified in the form of 8 categories and were separated in the form of two categories of external front and internal front factors. Reconstruction of the strategic relations of Islamic countries (strategic de-escalation), decline of the normalization project with the Zionist regime, limited tactical action, geopolitical fragility, weak strategic depth, internal crises of the Zionist regime, reverse migration, and manpower crisis had the highest coefficient of importance, respectively. It seems that with the application of such components, a pragmatic model can be achieved in the struggle and resistance against the Zionist regime in other Islamic countries.
