Israeli warplanes launched a series of separate raids on the Gaza Strip today, Friday, as the Israeli occupation continued its aggression against the Gaza Strip for the fourth day in a row. In response, the Islamic Jihad movement and the Palestinian resistance fired rocket barrages at the Gaza border and Tel Aviv as well as Al-Quds, resulting in the death of an Israeli and injury of 57 settlers.
The warplanes targeted a house for the Dughmush family near the radio and television in Tal al-Hawa and agricultural land in Izbat Abd Rabbo, resulting in injuries and the death of several citizens. The occupation army additionally published video clips of the moment it targeted the house in which the commander of the al-Quds Brigades, Ahmed Abu Daqqa, was present.
The ongoing aggression has resulted in the death of 30 citizens in the Gaza Strip, including six children and three women, and caused great damage to buildings and civilian facilities.
On Thursday, the Al-Quds Brigades targeted the settlement of Rehovot with long-range missiles, resulting in the death of one person and injuries to eight others.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza announced the arrival of a martyr and 4 different injuries to the European Gaza Hospital from eastern Khan Yunis.
In addition, the Palestinian resistance mourned the martyr field commander Muhammad Suleiman Khalil Dader and the martyr Hussein Youssef Abdullah Dalloul, after they were targeted by the occupation planes east of Al-Shujaiya neighborhood.
Palestinian resistance vows no retreat
The Joint Operations Room of the Palestinian Resistance Factions issued a statement on Thursday, stating that the Israeli assassination will only strengthen its fighters.
“We confirm that we are committed to the covenant of the martyrs. We will not retreat. Assassinations will only increase our strength, and our retaliation will continue,” it said.
“We say to the cowardly enemy that by targeting safe homes, they are making a mistake in their assessment, and that the heavy hand of resistance is capable of defeating them.”
