Qassam Brigades rain retaliatory rockets onto Israel

Palestinian resistance fighters have rained retaliatory rockets onto several areas in Israel, including Tel Aviv, in response to the Israeli regime’s relentless onslaught on the Gaza Strip.

According to reports, the sound of warning sirens was heard in several cities and towns in Israel as Hamas military wing al-Qassam Brigades targeted Tel Aviv and Be’er Sheva.

Several Israelis have reportedly been injured in Tel Aviv.

Palestinian fighters of the al-Quds Brigades on Friday fired a rocket at the port city of Ashdod. Gazan rockets also made sirens go off in Eshkol and Sha’ar HaNegev in the northwestern part of the Negev desert.

Earlier on Friday, the Israeli military confirmed that two of its soldiers have been killed in an operation by Hamas fighters in southern Gaza. Hamas, however, said 15 Israeli forces were killed there.

According to Tel Aviv, the Israeli death toll currently stands at 66, including 63 soldiers and three civilians. However, Hamas puts the figure at about 150.

The Palestinian death toll from Israel’s 26 days of onslaught on Gaza has now reached nearly 1,650, with 9,000 people injured. Most of the casualties have been civilians, including a large number of women and children.
