Israeli Channel 12's correspondent reported earlier today that Hamas' missile arsenal remains to pose a threat to the internal Israeli front.

Furthermore, Israeli media had reported earlier today that fierce clashes broke out in Khan Younis in south Gaza amidst intense Israeli shelling on the city.

Earlier last week, on December 8th, al-Qassam Brigades released video footage unveiling a new Multiple Rocket Launcher (MLR), LM-90, which holds up to eight rockets at a time.

The footage, titled "Tel Aviv will be burned to the ground, al-Quds will be liberated," showcases yet another milestone for the Palestinian Resistance, both in terms of production capabilities and its military arsenal.

A placard displayed in the video, as Resistance fighters arm the system, shows a designed photo of martyr Ibrahim al-Makadmeh, one of Hamas' founders and a prominent Palestinian figure. The placard also revealed that the rocket was named after al-Makadmeh, making this at least the second rocket to be named after the late leader.

Designated M-90, the rocket has a range of 90 km, giving the Resistance faction the possibility of targeting central areas in occupied Palestine, including "Tel Aviv", from various positions in the Gaza Strip, such as the southern city of Khan Younis.
