At the "Hour of al-Bahaa," Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) movement, continue to target occupied cities and illegal Israeli settlements as Operation Al-Aqsa Flood enters its 10th day and as Israeli occupation authorities acknowledge the damage caused by these attacks.

Over 100 Resistance rockets were launched toward cities and Gaza envelope settlements, reaching as far as "Tel Aviv" and al-Quds.

Al-Quds Brigades' rockets reached occupied Beer al-Sabe', Asdoud, and Askalan, as well as several illegal settlements including "Netivot", "Sderot", "Eshkol", "Nir Am", and "Yavne".

The Brigades announced that they targeted the Israeli intelligence building in "Kerem Shalom", as well as Israeli forces' assembly areas and the Hatzorim Airbase.

Israeli media reported direct hits on a house in "Sderot" and sirens sounding at the Palmachim Airbase south of "Tel Aviv".

The Brigades stated that the rocket fire came in response to the Israeli massacres committed against civilians. Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas movement, also continues to target "Tel Aviv" with rocket attacks in retaliation for the Israeli massacres.

Earlier in the day, Al-Qassam Brigades announced targeting the Ben Gurion Airport half an hour before the arrival of US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

On their part, the National Resistance Brigades (Forces of Martyr Omar Al-Qasem) announced that they targeted Israeli forces' assembly areas east of "Nahal Oz", near the separation wall, with a number of mortar shells. Earlier, the Brigades had targeted the "Zikim" military base.

On Sunday, Al-Quds Brigades confirmed a rocket attack on an assembly of Israeli occupation forces in "Mifgashim" and the "Sufa" location.

In several brief statements, the Brigades stated that they targeted Israeli military gatherings in the settlements of "Kfar Saad," "Alumim," "Erez," "Dogit," and "Nir Am" with rockets and mortar shells.

Earlier, Israeli media mentioned that sirens sounded in "Tel Aviv", "Gush Dan", "Beit Shemesh", and the occupied city of Askalan, as well as in settlements in Beit Lahm in the southern West Bank. Two injuries were reported as a result of rocket strikes in "Holon".

Al Mayadeen's correspondent confirmed that the Israeli Knesset was evacuated after explosion sounds and sirens were heard in occupied al-Quds. This led to the suspension of the Knesset session, with those inside being moved to fortified locations.
