The Israeli Ynet news website paid special attention to the event, as this rocket holds the longest range within the Palestinian Resistance's arsenal.
The rocket was first launched towards the "Ramon" air base in May 2021, halting all civilian air traffic in occupied Palestine for a historical first.
It was also reported that "Israel" deployed its David's Sling air defense system to intercept the rocket.
On Friday Palestinian Resistance factions, led by al-Qassam and al-Quds Brigades barraged Israeli occupation cities and sites with salvos of rockets.
The areas reportedly targeted were "Nir Oz", "Nir Yitzhak", "Holit", "Avshalom", "Sderot", "Sa'ad", Ben Gurion Airport, "Tel Aviv", "Gvar'am", and occupied Safad, Bir al-Sabe, And Askalan.
The attacks included a range of short-range artillery and medium to long-range rockets, as well as locally produced suicide drones.
"Sderot" and occupied Askalan were targeted multiple times as the Resistance stuck to its promise, making the two occupied cities unhabitable.
Channel 12 also reported that occupied Askalan has been targeted with more than 1,000 rockets since Saturday.
Al-Qassam Brigades also launched a Mutbir-3 air defense missile towards an Israeli drone in Khan Yunis.
"Israel" has so far admitted to 1,500 dead settlers and soldiers, a number much higher than the one reported on the first day of confrontations, where it only reported around 50 deaths.
The Israeli military establishment is looking to maintain secrecy on the names of those held captive by Palestinian Resistance fighters in Gaza. It is still unknown how many Israelis are currently in Gaza, although al-Qassam Brigades announced that 13 settlers and soldiers due to indiscriminate Israeli airstrikes on the Strip.
