The armed wing of the Palestinian movement Hamas, known as the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, has announced another rocket attack on Tel Aviv. This comes as a response to the “crimes committed by the Israeli occupation forces against the civilian population of Gaza,” according to a report by TASS.
Earlier, an air raid siren was heard in the center of Tel Aviv. The Israeli army, using drones, had previously struck militants from the Palestinian group Hamas who fired an anti-tank missile near the Gaza Strip, as reported by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) press service.
On October 7, Hamas forces launched thousands of rockets into Israeli territory, declaring the start of the “Al-Aqsa Flood” operation. Thousands of militants infiltrated Israeli territory, seizing dozens of military vehicles and over a hundred hostages. Against this backdrop, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu declared that the country was in a state of war.
The Israeli Defense Forces’ retaliatory operation, named “Operation Iron Swords,” aims to destroy Hamas. The Israeli Air Force has carried out strikes on hundreds of Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip, and the Israeli National Security Council has decided to halt the supply of water, food, goods, electricity, and fuel to the sector. On October 13, Israel informed the United Nations that 1.1 million Palestinians must evacuate to the south of Gaza within 24 hours in preparation for a ground operation in the area.
Earlier, Netanyahu stated that Israel was transitioning to a massive attack “like never before.”
