Palestinian Islamic Jihad's Al-Quds Brigades launched a large barrage of rockets toward "Tel Aviv" and other Israeli occupation settlements on Tuesday at 21:00 in what is known as the Hour of Al-Bahaa.

"Ashkelon" and "Sderot" were also targeted with Resistance rockets. Direct impacts were confirmed in all hits.

The Resistance group emphasized that its missile forces would consistently aim at deeper Israeli-occupied territories if the aggression on Palestinian civilians in Gaza continued.

Earlier, al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas' military wing, initiated a massive rocket salvo from Gaza directed at "Ashkelon" settlement. This followed a warning by the group's spokesperson Abu Obaida for "Ashkelon" settlers to leave by 5 pm, in response to the Israeli crime of expelling Palestinians in Gaza and forcing them to evacuate their homes due to the nonstop brutal bombings.

In a new development, Resistance rockets reached the city of Baqa al-Gharbiyye north of "Tel Aviv" for the first time, as confirmed by various Israeli media outlets.

The rockets landed near an industrial zone in Baqa-Jatt, which is situated in the northern triangle of territories occupied in 1948. Occupied Yafa was also hit by another rocket, according to Israeli reports.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent highlighted that targeting the Baqa al-Gharbiyye area is a significant tactical move by the Gaza Resistance, showcasing its capability to steer the battle in accordance with its own strategy.

Rockets also landed near the "Shaked" settlement in the northern West Bank, as well as the towns of Umm al-Fahm and Jenin, with one confirmed direct hit to the "Salem" Israeli military camp, west of Jenin.
