Hamas’ military wing, al-Qassam Brigades, fired a barrage of rockets toward “Tel Aviv” and surrounding areas on Monday afternoon.
Al-Qassam’s military media made the announcement, saying that the operation came in response to the occupation crimes against Palestinians.
Zionist media outlets reported on the rocket attack, emphasizing the recurrence of such operations, despite the continued ground invasion. The last rocket attack on “Tel Aviv” was launched on January 8 this year, following another that took place at midnight on New Year’s Eve.
Al-Qassam Brigades released footage detailing their newly developed M-90 rockets, which have allowed the Resistance to launch long-range attacks on “Tel Aviv” from southern territories.
After the months-long invasion of the Gaza Strip, which initially focused on the northern areas of the Gaza Strip, the Resistance launched a barrage from Khan Younis toward “Tel Aviv”, showcasing the versatility of their arsenal.
Monday’s attack reportedly consisted of 10 rockets launched toward the central occupation city. Sirens went off in the vicinity of Ben-Guiron Airport, “Rishon LeTsiyon”, “Holon”, “Bat Yam”, and “Tel Aviv”.
Explosions were also heard in the aforementioned areas, while two large shrapnels impacted the occupation’s city.
January 29 operations
The Palestinian Resistance conducted multiple other operations in the Gaza Strip, according to statements released by multiple factions.
Al-Qassam Brigades targeted an armored D9 bulldozer in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, marking the group’s only announcement of ground operations on Monday. In the northern Gaza Strip, al-Mujahideen Brigades fighters launched a barrage of rockets toward military positions in the northwest of Gaza City.
The Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s (PIJ) al-Quds Brigades launched multiple ground operations on Monday, including a large-scale dual rocket and mortar attack on Zionist occupation positions.
Al-Quds Birgades fighters launched large caliber mortar rounds and Badr 1 rocket artillery shells on the main logistical support camp set up by occupation soldiers in the northwest of Gaza City. The site has been used by Zionist forces to maintain and repair armored vehicles and military vehicles, as well as a storage point for basic necessities, including fuel.
The group also announced that their fighters engaged occupation forces in Khan Younis. They also launched an anti-tank guided missile at a Zionist sniper team positioned in a residential building to the west of Khan Younis.
In the same area, al-Quds Brigades fighters set up an Explosively Formed Penetrator, the “Thaqeb barrel bomb,” targeting a Zionist tank that was completely destroyed as a result of the attack.
The Palestinian Resistance continues to launch attacks on Zionist positions all over the Gaza Strip, while engaging invading troops on multiple axes, showcasing their continued ability to command and control operations all over the besieged territory.
Resistance in northern occupied Palestine
Hezbollah’s operations against occupation forces and military sites carried on through Monday night, using a wide array of weapons, including anti-tank guided missiles, Burkan heavy rockets, and Falaq-1 rockets.
In following six operations that were launched between Monday midnight and morning, the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon launched a series of attacks on various targets near the entirety of the Lebanese-Palestinian border.
To kick off their operations on Monday afternoon, Hezbollah fighters launched an attack, at 1:30 pm, on a grouping of occupation soldiers positioned in the Honin Castle, which has been repurposed by the occupation for military use. The site is located in the occupied Lebanese town of Honin, on the western side of the occupied al-Jalil Panhandle.
Forty minutes later Resistance fighters attacked the “Zar’it” Barracks located in the western district of operations, to the southwest of the aforementioned site. The site is built on the usurped Lebanese town of Tarabikha.
At 3:55 pm the Resistance targeted a grouping of occupation soldiers positioned in al-Sumaqa military site in the occupied Lebanese Shebaa Farms and Kfar Chouba hilltops.
After an hour of calm from South Lebanon, Hezbollah fighters launched two Falaq-1 rockets at the “Biranit” Barracks, opposite the Lebanese town of Rmeish, confirming direct hits on the intended target.
At 6:00 pm the group battered Talat al-Taihat, located to the south of the Honin Castle, in al-Jalil Panhandle, with a number of ATGMs. The target was a grouping ofoccupation soldiers who were directly hit by Hezbollah’s missiles.
Half an hour later, Hezbollah fighters launched several large caliber Burkan rockets, which carry at least 300 kg of explosives, toward al-Jurdah military site. The site is located in the western district of operations, opposite the town of al-Dhayrah.
Later at 8:20 pm, Islamic Resistance fighters launched several Falaq-1 rockets toward the vicity of the “Ramim” Barracks which is also located in the occupied Lebanese town of Honin. The Resistance confirmed direct hits to several groupings of soldiers positioned in the vicinity of the site.
Up until 11:00 pm on Monday, Hezbollah announced a total of 13 operations, targeting a flurry of targets, including troops all over the Lebanese-Palestinian border.
Earlier operations
Here is a list of operations launched by the group prior to the aforementioned operations on Monday:
- At 12:20 am, the Resistance fighters targeted the Birket Risha military site using Burkan rockets resulting in a direct hit.
- Concurrently, at 12:20 am, the Resistance targeted the Hadab al-Bustan military site using Burkan rockets resulting in a direct hit.
- At 8:00 am, the Resistance targeted the “Biranit” Barracks also using Burkan rockets and resulting in a direct hit.
- At 10:00 am, the Resistance fighters targeted a gathering of soldiers stationed behind the Jal al-Allam site with a Falaq missile, achieving a direct hit.
- Later at 11:15 am, the group launched an attack on a grouping of occupation soldiers in the “Mitat” Barracks.
- Just half an hour later, Hezbollah fighters attacked the “Metula” military site with the appropriate weapons, confirming direct hits to the intended targets.
Hezbollah’s newly revealed weapons stir up Zionist media
The Islamic Resistance also published a video debunking Zionist media claims, that its newly deployed ATGM had not targeted the occupations Naval site in Ras al-Naqqoura.
Zionist mouthpieces said that they did not spot a large tower, used to deploy spyware and other equipment, in the original video, claiming that the video of the attack published by Hezbollah is fake.
On Monday, Hezbollah’s military media released footage from a wider angle captured by another camera, in which the tower was clearly seen, providing indisputable evidence of the attack’s success.
The attack was carried out by a recently revealed ATGM system, whose full specifications and name are still unknown. In short, the new system is capable of direct and top attacks, it relays real-time footage of its flight to its operator via Television camera and could be redirected to lock on to targets mid-flight. The system itself is similar to the Iranian Almas ATGM, although no official confirmation has been made of this claim.
Hezbollah’s Falaq-1 rockets have also reverberated across Zionist media talking points, as the unguided short-range rockets have been more readily deployed in the Resistance’s operations in recent weeks. In some cases, the Resistance launched 10 of these rockets at once when targeting occupation sites. Each 240 mm Falaq-1 munition carries 50 kg of explosives, meaning that a full barrage would deliver a payload of 500 kg spread throughout a targeted site.
In total, Hezbollah launched 13 attacks in total, the largest amount since the Al Aqsa Flood battle started.
Iraqi resistance continues assault on US occupation forces
Multiple missiles launched by the Islamic Resistance factions in Iraq targeted the US base in the city of al-Shadadi, south of al-Hasakah in Syria.
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq on Sunday claimed responsibility for five operations that took place in the region targeting the US forces in Syria and Iraq, as well as the Zionist occupation forces in occupied Palestine.
The Islamic Resistance declared that it conducted a series of drone attacks on five enemy positions in the region. Among these, three were aimed at US occupation bases situated in Syria, specifically targeting al-Shadadi, al-Rukban, and al-Tanf.
The fourth strike was directed at a base near Erbil Airport in the Iraqi Kurdistan region.
The fifth operation was executed on the “Zevelun” naval facility in occupied Palestine. The nature and extent of the damage caused by these drone strikes remain undisclosed.
The Zionist “Zevelun” naval facility in Haifa Bay north of occupied Palestine was attacked by a drone on Sunday.
Later, the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) announced that three US soldiers were killed, while at least 25 were injured in northeastern Jordan near the Syrian border, including eight in serious condition.
“On Jan. 28, three U.S. service members were killed and 25 injured from a one-way attack UAS that impacted at a base in northeast Jordan, near the Syria border,” CENTCOM said.
Afterward, citing a US official, Reuters reported that the number of US soldiers injured in the drone attack in north East Jordan has risen to 40.
Meanwhile, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq shared video footage depicting the attacks carried out against the US occupation base in Khirbet Adnan in Syria. This incident occurred Saturday and involved the use of drones in the attack.
This comes as the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, Yemen, and Hezbollah continue conducting operations targeting Israeli bases and sites across occupied Palestine, but with the Iraqi group being the most engaged in attacking ports.
With several attacks on record, the Iraqi group has proved that it has the capabilities to target Zionist occupation ports located on the Mediterranean coast. The largest of which, the Haifa port and the “Ashdod” port, have come under attack at least twice in 2024.
Ansarallah naval operations continue
The spokesperson of the Yemeni Armed Forces Brigadier General Yahya Saree announced in a statement earlier this morning that Yemen targeted US Navy warship Lewis B Puller sailing through the Gulf of Aden yesterday evening.
Saree specified that the warship was involved in providing logistical support for the US forces waging aggression against Yemen, among other missions.
“The operation is part of the military measures taken by the Yemeni Armed Forces in defense of the Yemeni people and as part of the commitment to support the oppressed Palestinian people,” Saree added.
Concluding his statement, Saree reaffirmed the YAF’s commitment to enforce a blockade on Zionist navigation in the Red Sea until a ceasefire is achieved in Gaza and the siege enforced on the people of Gaza is lifted.
