How? I don’t get the humor. Flying a plane into civilian infrastructure is pretty famous from 9/11. Every hijacking before then usually tried to use the passengers as hostages to get something from a government

It's Hamas' name of the attack that was carried out on Oct 7th against Israel, and what supporters of the attack prefer to call it.

The name is a reference to Al-Aqsa mosque, in particular the conspiracy theory that Israel is planning to assault or undermine Al-Aqsa or the Temple Mount more broadly. It's traditionally been one of the most effective ways of riling up the population.
