Despite the Israeli army’s announcement that it had destroyed a number of rocket launching pads in the Gaza Strip, the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades – the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) – broadcast scenes of a missile salvo that it said it had fired in the northern Gaza Strip towards Israel.
According to Al-Jazeera’s correspondent in the Gaza Strip, Elias Karam, the missile attack launched by the Al-Qassam Brigades targeted the northern areas of the Gaza Strip, specifically the town of Netiv Haasara, where warning sirens sounded.
The Palestinian resistance launched its rocket salvo a day after the Israeli army announced in its latest statement yesterday that it had managed to destroy about 700 platforms for launching Palestinian missiles towards Israel.
Qassam rockets and the resistance are disturbing the Israeli settlers, especially those living in the Gaza Strip who have left their homes since the beginning of the war, although in recent weeks the Israeli government has been urging and encouraging them to return.
According to Tel Aviv Tribune’s correspondent, the rocket salvo launched by the Al-Qassam Brigades today will reinforce the Israelis’ lack of confidence in their military institution and in their army, which they acknowledge has not achieved any military achievement on the ground.
After 99 days of war, battles are still continuing in the northern regions of the Gaza Strip, and the Palestinian resistance is still showing a high ability to confront and confront the Israeli occupation forces in the field.
Moreover, the resistance – adds the Tel Aviv Tribune correspondent – is still capable of launching rockets towards the towns surrounding Gaza and even towards the Israeli depths, and determining the place, time and range for launching the rockets, in addition to causing deaths and injuries among the ranks of the occupation forces and destroying its military vehicles.
He pointed out that columnists, analysts and military observers in Israel, acknowledge that their army did not achieve the objectives of the battle and was unable to “subjugate the Hamas movement, which did not surrender and did not raise the white flag.”
