On the other hand, the Israeli regime also carried out airstrikes against targets in the Gaza Strip in response to rocket attacks by Palestinian groups.

According to the available information, the Israeli regime’s aircraft attacked a Palestinian resistance base in al-Maghazi camp in the center of the Gaza Strip, an observation tower east of Beit Hanoun, located in the north of the Gaza Strip, and another base in the south of the Gaza Strip. There were no casualties in these attacks.
Minutes after the attack, the Zionist army releasing two videos announced that several bases belonging to Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas movement were targeted in the Gaza Strip.

After these attacks, Al-Qassam Brigades released a statement and announced:

“The resistance air defense countered Israeli fighters by firing surface-to-air missiles during this morning’s attacks on the Gaza Strip.”

Al-Qassam Brigades did not publish more details, but it seems that the Palestinian resistance used SAM-7 MANPADS, which were previously used to repel the Israeli fighter jets over the Gaza Strip.

It is worth mentioning that yesterday, Saleh al-Arouri, the deputy head of the political office of Hamas, referring to the crime committed by the Zionist regime in the Jenin camp and the martyrdom of at least 9 Palestinians and the injury of 20 people, said:

“The occupying regime will pay the price of the crime in Jenin and the response of the resistance will not be delayed. The will of our nation is stronger than the crime of the occupying regime, and Jenin and the West Bank and its residents will remain invincible, and these attacks will only increase its strength and determination to fight.”
