Response to aggression

Hamas says it has fired missiles towards the Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, as it presses ahead with its retaliation for Israel’s relentless bombardment of the Gaza strip. The resistance group says it has also targeted Tel Aviv itself. According to Israeli media, sirens sounded in areas in and around Tel Aviv. Sirens were also heard in the city of Ashdod, south of Tel Aviv. Meanwhile, a Large-Salvo of Rockets was fired toward the Israeli town of Asqalan. That after the armed wing of Hamas issued a warning to the residents to leave the town. Al-Qassam Brigades said the attack was in response to Israeli bombing of Gaza. Palestinian resistance fighters entered the Gaza envelope area on Saturday following missile strikes on Israeli targets under the Operation al-Aqsa flood. According to Israeli media, the operation has led to the death of over 9 hundred Israelis and more than 28 hundred injuries. Israel's embassy in the US has put the death toll at over one thousand. 

'Irreparable defeat for Israel'

The leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution describes as a destructive quake the anti-Israel operation launched by Palestinians on Saturday. Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said, those who attribute the operation to non-Palestinians are making mistakes. The leader underlined that the damage inflicted on Israel in the surprise operation by Palestinians is the result of the regime’s own actions. Ayatollah Khamenei said the brave move by Palestinians was a response to years of Israeli crimes. The leader said, Israel is now playing the victim card and that western media outlets are helping the regime in this regard. Ayatollah Khamenei noted that the regime cannot be portrayed as an oppressed entity while it is actually a monster. He warned Israel and its backers that the bloodshed of Palestinians will bring them greater calamity. 

Israel targeting media

Israeli warplanes have targeted the office of Iran’s Al-Alam Arabic news network in the Gaza Strip. Activities of the office, which is located in the Al-Rimal neighborhood in Gaza, have been completely halted following the bombardment. None of the employees of the news network were injured in the attack. At least seven journalists have been killed in Israeli attacks in recent days. Israel has a history of launching attacks on news networks and media personnel. Back in 2021, during the 11-day war on the Gaza Strip, the regime conducted an airstrike on a building that hosted offices of several media outlets including Qatar’s Al Jazeera.
