Israeli authorities knew that the resistance fronts in Palestine, Lebanon, and Yemen, were preparing to escalate their attacks on Israel today, to mark the first-year-anniversary of October 7.
Indeed, attacks came from all fronts, including Yemen, Lebanon and elsewhere.
But what the Israeli military might have not been prepared for was the shelling of Tel Aviv by Al-Qassam Brigades with a barrage of rockets.
The rockets originated from southern Gaza, particularly Khan Yunis, an area that the Israeli army has stormed many times, almost demolishing the whole city.
Al-Qassam’s rockets, known as M90, must have demolished any hope among the Israeli military echelons that their war of extermination in Gaza has brought to an end the firing of rockets from the besieged Strip.
A whole year of war has not altered the equation governing the relationship between Gaza and Israel. To the contrary, the war front has expanded to reach other parties.
Below are the latest statements by the two main Resistance forces in Gaza, and the Lebanese Resistance Movement Hezbollah.
The statements were communicated via their Telegram channels and are published here in their original form.
Al-Qassam Brigades (Hamas)
Al-Qassam Brigades bombarded the Sofa military site and enemy gatherings at the Rafah land crossing, near the Holit settlement, and the operations center of the Kerem Shalom military site with a number of Rajoom 114mm rockets.
Al-Qassam fighters are engaging in fierce clashes at zero distance with enemy forces that have penetrated west of Jabalia camp in the northern Gaza Strip, inflicting casualties among their ranks, including killed and wounded.
