The Palestinian Resistance Factions' Joint Operations room published video footage showing the launching of rockets toward the settlement of "Rehovot" and other settlements in the Gaza envelope as part of Operation Avenging the Free.

The Palestinian resistance factions underlined that the shelling was in response to the Israeli occupation forces' assassination of Islamic Jihad military commanders.

The footage showed the Palestinian resistance launching heavy salvoes of rockets from the Gaza Strip on the third day of Operation Avenging the Free.

The Palestinian Resistance factions launched Wednesday Operation Avenging the Free against the Israeli occupation in response to the occupation's aggression on the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian Resistance declared through a statement published regarding the matter.

The Palestinian Resistance factions' joint operations room issued a statement regarding the retaliation effort, saying Operation Avenging the Free consisted of launching hundreds of rockets at the military sites of the Israeli occupation forces and illegal Israeli settlements.

Operation Avenging the Free comes in response to the assassination of senior officials through brutal air raids on the Gaza Strip, which led to the martyrdom of numerous Palestinian civilians due to the occupation's targeting of residential buildings.

Israeli media reported that the rocket that hit the settlement of "Rehovot" led to mass destruction due to its massive warhead, adding that there were concerns about the building that was hit by the rocket collapsing.

Heavy barrages of rockets were launched from the Gaza Strip toward the occupied Palestinian territories, an Al Mayadeen correspondent reported.

This comes after the Israeli occupation forces assassinated five top Palestinian resistance commanders over the past few days.

Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, announced on Thursday that the Israeli occupation forces assassinated commander Ahmad Mahmoud Abu Daqqa in an air raid conducted on Khan Yunis.

Abu Daqqa was the deputy commander of the brigades' missile unit. He was the second-in-command after Ali Hassan Ghali, who was assassinated on Thursday dawn

Al-Quds Brigades announced the martyrdom of Ali Hassan Ghali, a member of the group's military council and the head of the brigades' missile unit, saying he was martyred in an Israeli assassination exacted at Wednesday dawn alongside several other PIJ fighters in the north of Khan Yunis.

The Israeli occupation launched at Tuesday dawn heinous aggression against the Gaza Strip, targeting civilian homes and several locations, and murdering 30 Palestinians thus far, including women and children.

The Israeli occupation forces said the Israeli Air Force's air raids on Gaza have killed Jihad Ghannam, the chief of the southern command of the PIJ's armed wing, the Al-Quds Brigades, and his wife.

The Israeli occupation's air raids also targeted Islamic Jihad spokesperson Tarek Ezzedine's house. The PIJ official was martyred.

Another martyr was the commander of the northern region of the Islamic Jihad, Commander Khalil Al-Bahtimi.

The bombing of a residential building came despite the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement warning the Israeli occupation that its policy of bombing civilian homes would be met with the relentless shelling of "Tel Aviv" and the occupied Palestinian territories.

Meanwhile, Egypt's mediation efforts are still ongoing in a bid to reach a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip in light of the ongoing Israeli aggression, though Cairo's efforts to reach an armistice have not met the desired success, Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry said Thursday.

The Egyptian top diplomat called during a joint press conference with his Jordanian, German, and French counterparts for the international community and countries seeking to bolster the "peace process" to intervene to put an end to the aggression the Palestinian people are sustaining.

Shoukry called on the countries in question to "put an end to the Israeli unilateral measures aimed at destroying the State of Palestine."

Al Mayadeen's correspondent to Cairo reported that the Egyptian delegation has a document to present to the Israeli occupation in light of the ceasefire talks.

Israeli media cited a political source earlier on Thursday as saying that the Israeli occupation did not agree to hand over the body of martyred prisoner Khader Adnan as part of a condition to reach a ceasefire.

The media added that "Israel" did not agree to stop assassinations against the Palestinian Resistance.

Operation Avenging the Free

In response to the brutal Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip for two days in a row, where "Israel" massacred scores of Palestinians, including three Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) leaders, the Palestinian Resistance launches Operation Avenging the Free to retaliate the Israeli crimes that did not even spare children or women.
