Occupied Territories: Warning Sirens Activated as Resistance Retaliates to “Israeli” Bombing of Gaza

Local Editor

In retaliation to the Zionist entity’s most ferocious bombing so far, Palestinian resistance movements in the besieged “Israeli”-occupied Palestinian Gaza Strip responded with a barrage of rockets, triggering air sirens in several settlements.

The rockets were fired as the “Israeli” occupation military confessed it had attacked 80 "targets" in the coastal enclave following fresh protests near a fence where five Palestinians were martyred.  

Relatively, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, one of the resistance groups operating in Gaza, announced firing the rockets in retaliation for the Zionist murder of Palestinian protesters on Friday.

The enemy’s military claimed that its so-called “Iron Dome” had intercepted 13 out of the 34 projectiles, which were fired from Gaza over Friday night and Saturday morning, while the rest caused no damage or casualties, the “Israeli” military claimed.

Sirens were sounded almost a dozen times in the occupied areas adjacent to the Gaza Strip. The “Israeli” military said in a statement that it “views with great severity the rocket attack tonight against “Israeli” communities.” 

The recent “Israeli” bombing campaign against Gaza came amid a deadly flare-up in violence in the coastal enclave.

Palestinian media reported that the occupation forces shot and martyred five Palestinians and injured 232 others during Friday's anti-occupation demonstrations near the Gaza fence.

Meanwhile, the Ezzeddin al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas resistance movement’s military wing, expressed its readiness to strike the occupied territories "with thousands of missiles." 

"We appeal to the Palestinian people and announce to them that if the Zionist enemy attacks us, we will be ready for the battle. There is no place in occupied Palestine that our missiles will not reach," the group said in a statement.
