After the Israeli occupation forces targeted the 14-story Palestine tower in Gaza which includes offices of various media institutions, al-Qassam Brigades spokesperson Abo Obeida warned that the resistance's retaliation will be "earth-shattering". 

"The occupation's airstrike on the Palestine Tower in central Gaza will force 'Tel Aviv' to stand on one leg as it awaits our retaliation."

In the same context, Al Mayadeen's correspondent to Gaza said that the targeting of the Palestine Tower could constitute a turning point in the war: such that the Resistance will not allow the targeting of civilians to go unanswered.

Shortly afterward, it was reported that Hamas fired 150 rockets toward "Tel Aviv".

Earlier today, Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that "Israel is at war" after Hamas fighters initiated a large-scale surprise attack on settlements in the Gaza envelope. 

In a filmed statement published several hours after the Palestinian Resistance launched Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, Netanyahu confirmed that he convened the heads of the Israeli security establishment and directed that Palestinian Resistance fighters who crossed into Gaza envelope settlements be neutralized.

"What the Palestinian resistance has in terms of Israeli captives means that there will be no #Palestinian prisoners left in the Israeli occupation's prisons."

"In parallel, I am initiating an extensive mobilization of the reserves to fight back on a scale and intensity that the enemy has so far not experienced," he added.

"The enemy will pay an unprecedented price."
