Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have spent a tense night as the Israeli regime's aircraft targeted multiple sites along the besieged Gaza Strip. The attacks came after the Israeli military claimed that rockets had been fired from the Gaza Strip. 

The Israeli aircraft allegedly targeted "military sites" of the resistance group Hamas in various parts of the Gaza Strip. This as Israeli attacks focused on agricultural lands and residential houses across the Gaza Strip, and no injuries were reported.

The Palestinian resistance fired barrages of rockets from several areas in the Gaza Strip, setting off sirens in the cities, adjacent to the coastal enclave.

The resistance retaliation comes in the aftermath of Israeli savage aggression against the Palestinian worshipers inside the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in the occupied city of al-Quds.

Israel has a deplorable record of unlawful attacks on Gaza, killing and injuring civilians, including women and children. Israeli army committed war crimes and crimes against humanity in hundreds of cases. They destroyed residential structures and internally displaced thousands of Palestinians in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. And, This as Washington and international organizations have only whitewashed the crimes of Tel Aviv’s illegitimate entity.

There are fears of further violence in the coming hours as the Israeli drones are hovering over the sky of Gaza City.

Tensions have been high in the Palestinian territories especially in the occupied East al-Quds, Gaza Strip and the West Bank for months and international mediation to de-escalate the situation bore no tangible results as Israeli aggressions and annexation of the Palestinian territories continued.

It is still unclear if the situation would escalate in the Gaza strip. Palestinian resistance groups, however, reaffirm that they’re ready to respond to any future Israeli aggression.
