The military wing of the Hamas resistance movement announced that it had targeted two Israeli air bases with several rockets.
Red alert sirens went off throughout Gaza border towns, in the southern coastal cities of Ashdod and Ashkelon, and in central towns as far north as Rehovot and Palmachim and in a number of air bases in between.
Zionist media reported on Thursday morning that sirens sounding missiles sounded in towns around the Gaza Strip.
According to the report, alarm sirens were sounded in the towns of Kisofim, Raiim, Nahal Oz, Niqab, Beer al-Saba, and Ofakim.
Palestinian media also reported that a new wave of rocket and missile operations by Gaza Strip resistance groups against Zionist settlements had begun.
Safa news agency also reported that Hatsarim airbase was targeted by resistance rockets.
Minutes later, al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas resistance movement, announced that it had fired two rockets at two Israeli air bases, Hatzarim and Hatunov.
Earlier, Saraya al-Quds, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Resistance Movement, teased them in a video message that the Israeli army’s claim of a ground offensive in the Gaza Strip had not materialized.
In this video, the military branch of Islamic Jihad said to the Zionist enemy: “Where is your army? Where is your armor? “We have been waiting for you for hundreds of hours on the Gaza border!”
Ziad al-Nakhala, the secretary-general of the Islamic Jihad movement, also said on Wednesday evening, referring to the resistance of Palestinian groups to the best American weapons, that seventy years had passed since the day of the Palestinian tragedy, and that the enemy was in an unprecedented predicament.
Earlier in the day, Israeli media reported, citing members of the security cabinet, that a ceasefire with resistance groups in the Gaza Strip was likely to take place from noon on Friday.
