On the 303rd day of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood and nearly 10 months since the start of the Israeli aggression on Gaza, the Palestinian Resistance launched a massive rocket barrage targeting Israeli settlements in the Gaza Envelope.

The al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, announced that its fighters launched a rocket barrage at exactly 12:08 pm on Sunday toward the Gan Yavne settlement and the occupied city of Isdud in response to the Israeli massacres committed against the Palestinian people and Resistance leaders.

The Palestinian Resistance in Gaza also launched a large rocket barrage toward the occupied city of Askalan and its surroundings, north of the Gaza Strip.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent confirmed that large rocket barrages were fired toward settlements in the Gaza Envelope from multiple locations in the Strip.

On its part, the al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) movement, claimed responsibility for targeting the Israeli Nahal Oz military site and the Be'eri settlement in the Gaza Envelope with rocket barrages, in cooperation with the Martyr Omar al-Qasem Forces, the military wing of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP).

The group released footage documenting the rocket launches by their Northern Brigade, which the Israeli military claimed to have dismantled during the early months of the war, on Askalan and Israeli settlements in the Gaza envelope.

Additionally, the Israeli Army radio mentioned that the Isdud municipality ordered the opening of shelters throughout the city. Circulating footage showed settlers and Israeli soldiers rushing to shelters as rockets were launched from Gaza.

Israeli media reported a large fire breaking out at the Palmachim airbase, about 45 km north of Gaza, due to the rocket barrage from the Strip.

In addition, the Israeli Channel 13 said that at least five rockets directly hit the Gan Yavne settlement, causing damage near Isdud after the Iron Dome air defense system failed to intercept them. A rocket also landed in the Askalan area.

The Israeli Kan channel also highlighted that for the first time in seven months, rockets were launched from southern Gaza toward the Gan Yavne area and its surroundings, east of Isdud.

In parallel, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported heavy confrontations between Palestinian fighters and Israeli occupation forces south of the al-Zaytoun neighborhood, east of Gaza City, accompanied by Israeli artillery and airstrikes.

Our correspondent also reported fierce confrontations and artillery shelling in the al-Shoka area, east of Rafah, in the southern part of the Strip.

Al Mayadeen published exclusive footage received from the al-Nasser Salah al-Din Brigades, the military wing of the Popular Resistance Committees, documenting its fighters targeting the Israeli Kissufim military site, east of the central Gaza governorate, with 107mm-type rockets.

Moreover, the al-Quds Brigades confirmed that its fighters successfully sniped at an Israeli soldier near the Gaza Community College in the Tal al-Hawa neighborhood, southwest of Gaza City.

In the same vein, the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades shelled Israeli military concentrations around the Rafah Crossing with two 107mm-type rockets.

In a joint operation, the Martyr Omar al-Qasem Forces and the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades targeted the Israeli military's supply line at the Netzarim axis with heavy mortar shells.

In a related context, the Israeli occupation military confirmed Sunday morning that one of its soldiers was seriously injured during confrontations in the southern Gaza Strip.

Israeli media: 10,000 soldiers killed or injured in war on Gaza

Earlier on Sunday, the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported that the names of tens of thousands of Israeli soldiers are listed among the dead or wounded in the ongoing war in Gaza.

In a report, the Israeli newspaper revealed that at least 10,000 Israeli soldiers have been killed or injured during the prolonged months of combat in the Gaza Strip.

It highlighted that approximately 1,000 soldiers are added to the ranks of those physically and mentally wounded in the Israeli military's rehabilitation department each month, according to departmental data.

Despite these staggering numbers, both the Knesset and the Israeli government have proceeded with redrafting and passing legislation to extend mandatory military service, leaving regular soldiers in a state of significant frustration, Israeli media pointed out.
