“Israel” Destroys Al-Aqsa TV’s HQ in Gaza, Hamas Vows Strong Response

Local Editor

The headquarters of Palestine’s Hamas-run “Al-Aqsa” TV was razed to the ground on Monday as part of the latest Zionist airstrikes targeting Gaza.

The development comes amid a fresh round of violence in the besieged enclave blamed on the “Israeli” occupation forces.

The TV station’s building in an-Nasr district, west of Gaza, was totally destroyed by the Zionist raids.

Meanwhile, many locals fled after calls to evacuate the place, as the TV station said it would resume broadcasts soon.

The raid was part of the fresh airstrikes and rocket attacks by “Israeli” warplanes and artillery which are targeting areas “throughout” the Gaza Strip and have so far martyred several people, including a Hamas commander.

The Palestinian Health Ministry put the number at 10, within around 24 hours, according to media reports.

In retaliation, the Palestinian resistance movement has so far fired over 400 rockets, mortar bombs, and at least one anti-tank missile from Gaza into the occupied territories, including military positions, both “Israeli” and Palestinian media confirmed.

A spokesman of the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’ military wing, said the Joint Operations room for Palestinian Resistance vowed to expand the range of military strikes deeper into the occupied territories.

“Ashkelon [Askalan] is just the beginning as a million Zionist colonists may enter the range of our rockets,” Abu Obaydah said in his tweet.

The Qassam Brigades also said two “Israelis” were killed and 19 others were wounded in its counter-attacks against Askalan early Tuesday.

In one of the rocket attacks, an “Israeli” bus in the northeast of Gaza was directly hit and exploded by a Kornet ATGM.

The “Israeli” military claimed in a statement that the aerial aggression was in response to the rockets and mortar shells fired against the southern parts of the occupied territories, wounding over 40 “Israeli” settlers, one in critical condition.

However, the international community blames the “Israeli” occupation regime for the renewed violence in the impoverished enclave.
