Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas' military wing, announced Wednesday that it was shelling "Tel Aviv" in response to the Israeli massacres against civilians.

Meanwhile, Israeli media reported that explosions were heard all over "Tel Aviv," adding that air raid sirens were sounded in "Tel Aviv," "Gush Dan," and "Heshevila".

Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, announced that it targeted the city of Bir al-Sabe with a barrage of rockets.

Likewise, the PIJ's military wing announced that it shelled a gathering of Israeli soldiers in the settlement of "Re'im", with "Sufa" being hit with rockets and mortars.

The Palestinian resistance continues to launch rockets toward various occupied Palestinian territories, Israeli settlements, and military gatherings in response to Israeli aggression and massacres committed against the civilians of Gaza.

Health Ministry spokesperson Ashraf Al-Qudra said during a press conference in which he was addressing the repercussions of the Israeli aggression that the massacres being committed by the Israeli occupation amount to ethnic cleansing and pose an existential threat to the Palestinian people.

The Israeli occupation getting to a stage wherein it is  starting to target hospitals and dare to commit an indescribable massacre in Al-Maamadani (Baptist) Hospital is "a grave threat to the health sector."

"The tally of the massacre committed by the criminal Israeli occupation in Al-Maamadani hospital rose up to 471 martyrs, with 314 others wounded, 28 of whom are in critical condition," the Ministry of Health official said.

Meanwhile, he revealed that the total number of casualties resulting from the Israeli aggression that has been ongoing for 12 consecutive days was 3,478 martyred and 12,065 others wounded.

The massacres committed by the Israeli occupation against families affected 433 families, of which 2,421 have been martyred, while hundreds of others are still under the rubble.

56 occupation police officers killed since the beginning of Operation Al-Aqsa

In this context, the Israeli occupation police announced that the number of police killed in the Gaza Envelope since the beginning of the war had risen to 56.

Israeli media reported that it was permitted to publish that Sergeant Major Yulia Victor, head of the Office of the Southern Brigade Operations Division, was killed in Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.

Regarding Israeli prisoners held by the Resistance in the Gaza Strip, military correspondent Doron Kadosh said yesterday that in "Israel" they admit that there are more prisoners in Gaza than they initially estimated.

He added that the security and military establishment's estimate was that "there are 150 prisoners alive, but as time passes and testimonies and intelligence information are collected, the realization now is that there are more than 200 prisoners."

Israeli media also reported that "since the beginning of the war, 4,229 wounded people have been evacuated to Israeli hospitals, including 26 in hopeless cases and 725 in moderate cases."

The families of the Israeli prisoners had warned the Israeli occupation President Isaac Herzog that if those captured are not returned, they will "shake Israel to the core if it calls for it, and they will not allow for them to be left in Gaza."

This comes while Israeli officials are still exchanging accusations, holding the Prime Minister of the Israeli occupation government responsible for the failure that led to Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.
