Qassam Launches Missile Attack on Tel Aviv

According to SAEDNEWS, As the conflict in Gaza reaches its 312th day, the Qassam Brigades have declared a significant response to what they describe as the crimes and killings of Palestinians by the Israeli occupation forces. The militant group announced that they targeted the occupied city of Tel Aviv and its surrounding areas using two "M90" missiles.

According to reports from the Al-Qassam Brigades' Telegram Channel, this assault on Tel Aviv was also framed as a retaliation to the ongoing and systematic displacement of Palestinians, as highlighted by Al Manar news agency.

In addition to the missile strikes, Al-Qassam fighters reportedly detonate a barrel bomb aimed at an Israeli Merkava tank in Khan Younis and targeted another Merkava tank in Rafah using an Al-Yassin shell.

Following these attacks, Israeli Channel 13 confirmed that explosions were heard in Tel Aviv, underscoring the escalating tensions in the region. Sources familiar with the situation within the Palestinian Resistance disclosed to Al Jazeera that the rockets were launched from a location in Gaza where Israeli military equipment and vehicles were stationed.

As the situation develops, both regional and international observers are closely monitoring the continuing conflict and its impact on both Palestinian civilians.
