Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas movement, bombarded the heart of the Zionist entity with a heavy barrage of M90 rockets just moments into the new year. This retaliation came after relentless aggression from the Israeli occupation forces against defenseless civilians in the besieged Gaza Strip, drawing silence from many who champion human rights.

Despite claims from the Israeli army that the Qassam’s rocket capabilities had been significantly diminished, the attack on Tel Aviv and its suburbs proved otherwise. Military correspondent Hillel Rosen was quick to criticize the lack of intelligence and failure to prevent the strike, highlighting the unexpected strength of Hamas even after months of war on Gaza.

Israeli news outlet “Israel Today” conceded the victory of Hamas, acknowledging the failure of their previous claims of destroying the militant group’s missile capabilities. Another Hebrew website, “Kod Kod,” also echoed this sentiment by stating that Hamas had emerged triumphant.

The news of the rocket attack was met with celebration in Palestinian territories, with the city of Qalqilya erupting with joyous cries of “Allahu Akbar” and the lighting of firecrackers. The Gaza Strip, meanwhile, witnessed a momentous occasion as the Al-Qassam Brigades launched their missiles towards “Tel Aviv” and its surroundings, further demonstrating their resilience and determination.
It is worth noting that this is not the first time Al-Qassam has targeted “Tel Aviv.” Just last month, they unleashed a missile barrage on the city while continuing their near-daily bombardment of settlements surrounding Gaza.
The Palestinian resistance’s continued stand against Israeli aggression, despite complicity from Western countries and select Arab regimes.
Soroka hospital indicated that 24 Israeli injured soldiers arrived at its headquarters from Gaza Strip, two of whom were in serious conditions.
