For the fifth consecutive day, Israeli occupation forces launched a series of air raids all over the Gaza Strip. 

Israeli warplanes targeted residential buildings in the north, center, and south of the Gaza Strip, killing and injuring a number of  Palestinians.

In response to the brutal Israeli aggression, the Palestinian Resistance fired hundreds of rockets of varying ranges. Concurrently, Israeli radio reports that sirens are blaring in occupied Asqalan, illegal settlements: "Kibbutz Nirim" and "Ein Hashlosha", near the border with the Gaza Strip.

Al Mayadeen's Gaza Correspondent reported that the Israeli occupation targeted farmland east of Gaza.

A source from the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement told Al Mayadeen late Friday that the circulating media reports about any de-escalation are false.

The Israeli media reported that the Palestinian Resistance has been preparing for a massive missile strike.

"Israel" spills more Palestinian blood

The military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement (PIJ), mourned on Friday Iyad Al-Hassani (Abu Anas), a member of its Military Council and Commander of the Brigades Operations Unit, who was martyred in a cowardly Israeli assassination in Al-Nasr neighborhood, in the west of Gaza City.

Since the start of the aggression on Tuesday, the Israeli occupation assassinated Al-Quds Brigades commanders Jihad Ghannam, Khalil Al-Bahtini, Tarek Ezzedine, Ali Hassan Ghali, Ahmad Abu Daqqa, and recently Iyad Al-Hassani.

The Joint Operations Room of the Resistance factions also mourned the martyr, stressing that the crimes of the Israeli occupation will not stop the Palestinian people's Resistance and unity.

Earlier on Friday, the Al-Quds Brigades threatened the Israeli occupation through a video it published, titled: "Your sling will not do you any good," in reference to "Israel's" David's Sling anti-missile system that was used for the first time to intercept Palestinian Resistance rockets fired from the Gaza Strip toward "Tel Aviv".

In the video, the Al-Quds Brigades presented the features of the Boraq-85 rocket, which was manufactured by its fighters in 2019 and has a range of 85 kilometers.

The PIJ warned that more strikes will hit the enemy's depth in response to targeting and destroying civilian houses.

It is worth noting that the Palestinian resistance has so far fired at least 1,100 rockets toward the occupied Palestinian territories, the Israeli KAN public broadcaster reported on Saturday.

The Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip has left a trail of destruction especially since the main target has been residential homes.
