Gaza retaliatory response

The military wing of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has targeted Tel Aviv and its suburbs in response to Israel’s deadly onslaught on Gaza. The al-Qassam Brigades launched a barrage of rockets with Israeli sources reporting failed interception of the projectiles. The regime’s ambulances were also reportedly dispatched to the damaged sites. The launch of the rockets came as Israeli airstrikes and shelling claimed over 150 more lives across Gaza in the past 24 hours. The regime’s latest attacks hit residential buildings in the city of Khan Yunis. The southern city has also been witnessing fierce clashes between resistance fighters and Israeli forces over the past several days. A number of Palestinians were also killed in central Gaza where Israeli warplanes struck several refugee camps. The genocidal war on the besieged strip is now in its 87th day.

Iraqi resistance supporting Gaza

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq says it has carried out fresh attacks against Israeli positions in response to the regime’s ongoing air and artillery strikes on Gaza. The resistance group said it targeted a military site in Syria’s occupied Golan Heights. It also attacked a target in the city of Umm al-Rashrash, also known as Eilat, in the southern part of the Occupied Palestine. This is not the first time Iraq-based resistance groups hit Eilat. Since October 7, they have also carried out a number of drone and missile attacks on US bases in the region. They believe Washington is complicit in the Tel Aviv regime's onslaught on Gaza and its killing of tens of thousands of civilians.

Hezbollah warns Israel

A senior official with Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement says attacks on Israeli positions across the southern Lebanese borders will stop only if the regime ends its onslaught against Palestinians in Gaza. Hezbollah’s Deputy Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem says Israel’s efforts to restore peace to the north of the occupied Palestinian territories will be in vain unless attacks on civilians in Gaza stop completely. The cleric warned that Israel’s refusal to end the war in Gaza would lead to a further escalation in clashes with Hezbollah. The comments came after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the regime will do whatever it takes to restore calm to northern occupied Palestine where settlers have been either displaced or live in constant fear of missile attacks by Hezbollah.
