Resistance forces in Gaza have renewed retaliatory attacks into the Israeli-occupied territories on the 21th day of their Al-Aqsa Storm operation, as the regime steps up its bombardment across the coastal strip.
The al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, repeatedly fired missiles towards Tel Aviv in response to Israeli massacre of civilians in Gaza.
Israeli media reported several injuries in Tel Aviv. Israeli Channel 12 reported that two rockets landed in an area east of Rishon Lezion, near Tel Aviv, causing casualties.
Media reports said that sirens sounded in central occupied territories, in the greater Tel Aviv area, and in the southern regions.
Al-Quds Brigades also attacked Asqalan, Ashdod and Sderot with missiles and rockets, as well as other towns and settlements.
Palestinian forces also bombarded the Afshloum and Nir Ishaq complexes with a missile salvo.
Palestinian media reports said a small Israeli military surveillance drone crashed in the Zeitoun neighborhood of Gaza City.
Hamas thwarts infiltration attempt
The Al-Qassam Brigades said its fighters confronted Israeli forces attempting to infiltrate the region from waters off the coast of Rafah in southern Gaza on Friday.
It said Israeli forces were forced to retreat and leave behind their ammunition.
The Palestinian resistance had earlier confronted limited incursion attempts into central and northern Gaza Strip.
Israel said on Friday it would intensify its bombardment of various areas across Gaza. The Israeli military said its ground forces were “expanding their activity” in the Gaza Strip. Internet and mobile services have largely collapsed in the enclave.
Over 1,400 Israelis were killed when Palestinian resistance fighters launched Operation al-Aqsa Storm on October 7 in response to escalated Israeli violence against Palestinians.
Thousands more Israeli have also been wounded while at least 229 have been taken captive.
Hezbollah targets Israeli positions
Also on Friday, the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement said that its members targeted Al-Sadah and Abu Dajaj sites with guided missiles and other weapons, causing significant damage to them and injuring some Israeli soldiers.
The Lebanese forces also targeted military positions at Miskav Am with guided missiles and other weapons, destroying a portion of its technical equipment.
Lebanese forces also targeted several military positions in the occupied Shebaa Farms and the occupied hills of Kfar Shuba with guided missiles.
The regime has staged various drone and artillery attacks against several areas in southern Lebanon.
Lebanon’s Hezbollah and the Israeli occupation have been exchanging sporadic fire since October 8, a day after the illegal entity began a relentless war against Gaza.
Hezbollah has warned it will join Hamas and its allies in the fight against Israel if the regime escalates its aggression on Gaza and in case foreign military forces intervene to help the regime.
Hezbollah has already fought off two Israeli wars against Lebanon in 2000 and 2006, forcing a humiliating retreat upon the Tel Aviv regime’s military in both cases.
