Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades continues to target Israeli military sites and occupation cities with rocket and artillery, the Resistance group announced in several statements on Saturday afternoon.

At around 5:00 PM (local time) al-Qassam Brigades said that they launched rockets at "Ben Gurion" Airport in response to the continued targeting of civilians in the Gaza Strip by the Israeli war machine.

The group also shelled groupings of Israeli occupation forces near the "Yad Mordechai" kibbutz as well as the occupied city of Askalan with a barrage of rockets.

Al-Qassam Brigades released footage of an attack on Israeli military bulldozers east of Khan Yunis on Saturday at noon.

The Brigades remained steadfast in their Resistance against the occupation forces and announced on Saturday evening that they had shelled a military site in "Sufa" and a military site near "Kissufim".

Al-Qassam's rockets reach Tel Aviv and Be'er Shava

Earlier in the day the Resistance group targeted groupings of occupation forces in the "Nirim" kibbutz, utilizing mortar shells and rocket artillery to do so.

The Israeli occupation admitted to 5 injuries, some of which are critical, among its forces as a result of the shelling that targeted "Nirim".

The group then announced that they fired rockets towards "Be'er Shava" to the east of Gaza, as well as Askalan, "Sderot", and "Tel Aviv" to the north of the Strip.

Israeli airstrikes in Gaza kill captured soldiers and settlers

During its indiscriminate airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, "Israel" killed 9 captives 4 of which hold dual citizenship.

Following a glaring military and intelligence failure last Saturday, the Israeli occupation has made civilians, journalists, hospitals, and emergency services its main targets in the Gaza Strip.

Despite global appeals to protect healthcare facilities from Israeli airstrikes and forced displacement orders, Israeli threats have targeted hospitals in the Gaza Strip, endangering the well-being of patients and the wounded. "Israel" has demanded that al-Awda Hospital in northern Gaza forcibly evacuate its patients and staff within a two-hour timeframe, subsequently extending the deadline until 6 AM.

In response to the order, the Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) rights group issued a statement on the X platform, expressing strong condemnation for the ongoing indiscriminate attacks on healthcare facilities in Gaza and underscoring the intricacies involved in the process of forced displacement.

"We unequivocally condemn this action, the continued indiscriminate bloodshed and attacks on health care in Gaza. We are trying to protect our staff and patients," MSF says. "The evacuation of patients remains complicated."

Many of Gaza's medical and civilian infrastructures have come under the direct fire of Israeli warplanes. At least 10 emergency services vehicles were targeted by Israeli strikes since Saturday. Doctors and healthcare staff are working under the most difficult circumstances as they juggle between scarce resources and life-threatening work conditions due to a vicious siege and unaccounted-for war crimes which "Israel" commits on a daily basis.

According to the latest toll reported by the Ministry of Health in Gaza, 2215 people have been killed 724 of which are children and another 458 are women, as these groups account for more than 53% of deaths as a result of Israeli airstrikes and shelling.
