The al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) movement, announced on Tuesday evening that it launched rocket barrages targeting occupied Isdud, Askalan, Sderot, and Israeli settlements in the Gaza Strip.

The Brigades’ Rocket Unit confirmed that the strikes were carried out in response to the massacres committed by the Israeli occupation against the Palestinian people.

Earlier on Tuesday, fighters from the al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, confirmed upon returning from the frontlines that its fighters had engaged in a confrontation with an Israeli engineering unit using light weapons and had eliminated the driver of a Bagger-type military vehicle.

The al-Qassam Brigades stated that the operation took place on Sunday in the eastern part of the al-Shujaiya neighborhood, in eastern Gaza City.

Israeli Super Heron drone downed over Gaza City

On Monday, al-Quds Brigades also announced that its Resistance fighters had downed an Israeli Super Heron drone while it was flying over Gaza City.

This comes as the Israeli occupation military continues its genocidal war against the Palestinian people in the besieged Gaza Strip since reneging on a ceasefire that brought two months of relative calm.

Gaza death toll surpasses 52,900

The Gaza Ministry of Health announced earlier on Tuesday that the death toll from the ongoing Israeli war on Gaza since October 7, 2023, has now exceeded 52,900 martyrs, with more than 119,700 injured. Since March 18 alone, over 2,700 have been martyred and more than 7,600 wounded.

Hundreds of bodies remain under the rubble and in the streets, unreachable due to relentless Israeli attacks and debris blocking access.

Ambulance and Civil Defense teams face immense challenges in responding, as they too are targeted in what officials describe as a systematic effort to paralyze rescue efforts.
