Air raid sirens sounded Wednesday evening across Askalan and several Gaza-enclosed settlements, following a fresh wave of Palestinian resistance rocket fire.
According to Israeli media, three rockets were launched from northern Gaza shortly after the initial siren alerts, setting off a second round of alarms in the northern Gaza envelope. The strikes reportedly targeted an IOF tank gathering stationed along the perimeter fence north of the besieged Strip.
Al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, claimed responsibility for the attack, stating that the barrage was launched at the occupied cities of Asdod and Askalan. The group confirmed the operation was "in response to the Zionist massacres against our Palestinian people."
The renewed resistance response comes just hours after the Israeli occupation forces confirmed the death of a First Sergeant and the injury of another soldier in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, earlier Wednesday.
