Palestinian martyr Iyad Al-Hassani (Abu Anas)
On the fourth day of the Israeli occupation aggression against the Gaza Strip, Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement (PIJ), mourned on Friday Iyad Al-Hassani (Abu Anas), a member of its Military Council and Commander of the Brigades Operations Unit, who was martyred in a cowardly Israeli assassination in Al-Nasr neighborhood, in the west of Gaza City.
A PIJ source told Al Mayadeen that the crime of assassinating the leaders of Al-Quds Brigades "will backfire sending terror across the enemy and defeating its security and army."
The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza announced the arrival of three martyrs and 10 injured at Al-Shifa Hospital, east of Khan Yunis, following an Israeli occupation strike that targeted a residential apartment in Bani Suheila, in the southern Strip.
According to the Ministry of Health, the number of Palestinians killed as a result of the ongoing Israeli occupation aggression against Gaza rose to 33 martyrs, including six Resistance leaders, and 111 injured.
Since the start of the aggression on Tuesday, the Israeli occupation assassinated Al-Quds Brigades commanders Jihad Ghannam, Khalil Al-Bahtini, Tarek Ezzedine, Ali Hassan Ghali, Ahmad Abu Daqqa, and recently Iyad Al-Hassani.
Earlier today, the Brigades declared that the Palestinian Resistance delivered a 'concentrated' rocket strike on occupied Al-Quds, "Tel Aviv", and illegal Israeli settlements in response to Israeli occupation forces' assassination of PIJ military commanders and their ongoing aggression on Gaza.
On Thursday, Al-Quds Brigades Spokesperson Abu Hamza stressed during a televised speech that "assassinating our senior officials and freedom fighters will only bolster our will to fight against the enemy."
PIJ senior official Khamis Al-Haitham also underlined that the Israeli occupation's assassination would not go unanswered, as all options are on the table for the Palestinian Resistance.
In the same context, the spokesperson for the Israeli occupation army had announced that about 866 rockets were fired from Gaza toward "Israel" since the beginning of the Israeli aggression, confirming the death of an illegal settler and the wounding of 15 others in a Resistance rocket firing that targeted the illegal settlement of "Rehovot".
