This comes shortly after the Palestinian resistance fired more than 100 rockets at the occupied city of Askalan in response to extensive Israeli air raids on residential buildings, mosques, and even schools that Gazans used as shelters.
It is worth noting that the Israeli occupation's indiscriminate shelling has led to numerous casualties among civilians. Palestinian Health Ministry reported that at least 436 citizens were martyred, including 91 children and 61 women, in addition to 2,271 wounded, including 244 children and 151 women due to the Israeli brutal aggression on Gaza.
The Israeli occupation forces are bombarding the Gaza Strip, indiscriminately shelling residential areas all over.
Al-Qassam Brigades revealed on Saturday that the airforce had been engaged in battle since the early hours of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood. They revealed that 35 al-Zouari suicide drones were employed in different combat sites: attacking different enemy positions
Al-Qassam Brigades shared footage of the al-Zouari drone attacking Israeli positions to distract the Iron Dome. The drone offered aerial support for the resistance fighters to cross into the occupied Palestinian territories of the Gaza envelope.
In an earlier statement on Saturday, the brigades announced that five speedboats carrying al-Qassam Brigades navy commandos from Gaza landed in occupied territories during the first stages of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.
