Palestinian Resistance targets more; Israeli police death toll rises
The Palestinian Resistance in Gaza fired rocket salvoes towards several occupied settlements and cities, and the death toll of the occupation police since the beginning of the war rose to 56.
Al Mayadeen correspondent in southern occupied Palestine reported on Wednesday that the Palestinian Resistance in Gaza fired rocket salvoes toward the "Nahal Oz" settlement to the east of the Strip.
Hamas military wing, Martyr Izz El-Din Al-Qassam Brigades, announced that it had bombed a gathering of occupation soldiers near "Kissufim", as well as "Nirim" Kibbutz, with mortar shells.
Sirens sounded in the Gaza Envelope settlements and "Sderot" after a missile salvo was fired from the Strip.
Al-Quds Brigades also targeted the "Nir Yitzhak" settlement with a barrage of rockets, and also a concentration of enemy vehicles in "Yad Mordechai" and "Zikim" with rockets and mortar shells.
In turn, the National Resistance Brigades (forces of Martyr Omar Al-Qasem) targeted this morning the Israeli occupation forces, in the east of Juhr al-Dik, using a number of heavy mortar shells.
The Palestinian Resistance continues to launch its rockets toward various occupied Palestinian territories, the occupation's settlements, and its military concentrations. This came as the Al-Aqsa Flood battle entered its twelfth day and in response to the bloody massacre committed by the occupation in the Baptist Hospital.

Yesterday, a Fox News correspondent said "After 11 days of war, Hamas is still firing rockets at central Israel, and their ability to target major cities is still there."
In response to the Operation Al-Aqsa Flood and the crimes committed by the [Israeli] occupation in Gaza, the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon also targeted at dawn on Wednesday a Merkava tank belonging to the Israeli occupation army at the al-Raheb site, indicating that it was directly hit and led to the death and injury of its crews.
Israeli media admitted that 4 soldiers were injured as a result of Hezbollah launching anti-tank missiles on the border with Lebanon.
56 occupation police officers killed since the beginning of Operation Al-Aqsa
In this context, the Israeli occupation police announced that the number of police killed in the Gaza Envelope since the beginning of the war had risen to 56.
Israeli media reported that it was permitted to publish that Sergeant Major Yulia Victor, head of the Office of the Southern Brigade Operations Division, was killed in Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.
Regarding Israeli prisoners held by the Resistance in the Gaza Strip, military correspondent Doron Kadosh said yesterday that in "Israel" they admit that there are more prisoners in Gaza than they initially estimated.
He added that the security and military establishment's estimate was that "there are 150 prisoners alive, but as time passes and testimonies and intelligence information are collected, the realization now is that there are more than 200 prisoners."
Israeli media also reported that "since the beginning of the war, 4,229 wounded people have been evacuated to Israeli hospitals, including 26 in hopeless cases and 725 in moderate cases."
The families of the Israeli prisoners had warned the Israeli occupation President Isaac Herzog that if those captured are not returned, they will "shake Israel to the core if it calls for it, and they will not allow for them to be left in Gaza."
This comes while Israeli officials are still exchanging accusations, holding the Prime Minister of the Israeli occupation government responsible for the failure that led to Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.
