In the midst of the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Gaza Strip, the military faction known as Al-Quds Brigades, affiliated with the Islamic Jihad Movement, reported the loss of their Operations Unit leader, Iyad Al-Hassani [Abu Anas], who was declared a martyr. According to the announcement, Al-Hassani fell victim to an Israeli assassination in the Al-Nasr neighborhood of Gaza City.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza confirmed that three Palestinians lost their lives and ten others sustained injuries at Al-Shifa Hospital, located in Khan Yunis, due to an Israeli airstrike on a residential apartment in Bani Suheila, situated in the southern part of the Strip. The Ministry of Health reported a total of 33 Palestinian fatalities and 111 injuries since the beginning of the aggression, including six leaders from the Resistance.
Responding to the continued aggression and the targeted killings of military commanders by Israeli forces, the Brigades announced on Friday that the Palestinian Resistance had carried out a significant rocket attack on occupied Al-Quds (Jerusalem), Tel Aviv, and other settlements. This retaliation followed the earlier declaration by the Brigades that the assassination of their senior officials and freedom fighters would only strengthen their determination to confront the enemy.
