Hamas Spokesperson Abdel Latif Al-Qanou said that the strikes of the unified Resistance are "part of the process of responding to the massacre committed by the Zionist occupation, and come within the framework of its defense of our Palestinian people."

Al-Qanou held "Israel" responsible for the consequences of expanding its aggression, stressing that the occupation "will continue to pay the price for its foolishness, and its continuous aggression will blow up the region and lead its army to hell."

The Hamas official stressed that "the response of the Resistance is obligatory and constant against all aggression, and it is unified in the field and present strongly to deter the occupation, and will not allow it to pass its agendas or export its crises."

He added, "The aggression of the Zionist occupation will be shattered in the face of the unity of the Palestinian Resistance and the steadfastness of our people," noting that the occupation is no longer able to change the equations or impose a new reality.

Just the beginning

Earlier today, sources in the Palestinian Resistance confirmed to Al Mayadeen that "the response to the Israeli aggression has just begun," affirming that this is just the beginning.

Al Mayadeen correspondent in occupied Palestine reported that rocket salvoes were fired from the Gaza Strip.

This was followed by sirens sounding in a number of illegal Israeli settlements in the Gaza envelope settlements and the occupied city of Askalan, as Israeli occupation warplanes launched new airstrikes that targeted agricultural lands in northern Gaza.

No breaks

According to Israeli media, the so-called Israeli "Home Front Command" directed all illegal settlers within a distance of 40 km from the Gaza Strip to head to fortified chambers, based on its assessment that this will not be the response of the Islamic Jihad movement, but rather the response will be stronger.

The Israeli media pointed out that the massive firing of rockets from Gaza in the meantime indicates the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) movement's ability to launch heavy rocket salvoes toward "Israel", noting that the PIJ's rocket-firing strategy is based on not taking a break between one salvo and another.

The Israeli Broadcasting Corporation cited initial reports about a direct hit in "Sderot".

Navigational data also reported that air traffic was disrupted at Ben Gurion Airport in "Tel Aviv" as a result of the rocket fire from Gaza.
