The Ayyash 250 rocket fired by al-Qassam Brigades toward Eilat was first unveiled and fired by Hamas' military wing in May 2021, targeting the "Eilat-Ramon" Airport halting all flights in "Israel" in a historic first.

The rocket as per the name has an effective range of 250 km, meaning that the Resistance can now target any point in occupied Palestine from Gaza.

On October 13 this year, the rocket was fired towards Safad in northern Palestine where the IOF's northern command is headquartered.

An unverified picture circulating on social media shows an alleged al-Qassam rocket hit an open area in "Eilat" where more than 60,000 settlers have fled from Gaza's Envelope.
