Responding to the massacres carried out by the Zionist occupation against Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip, the Martyr Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas Resistance movement, bombarded Tel Aviv and its suburbs with two M90 rockets, on the 312th day of the genocide.
A source within the Resistance said that the rockets were launched from the heart of Khan Younis, where occupation forces are advancing.
Following the launch, al-Qassam’s Military Media published footage of its fighters preparing the rockets and scenes documenting the targeting.
In the video, one Resistance fighter recites a poetry verse, saying: “Soldiers who have faith and patience, are not weak or defenseless in war. If you engage in war, do not let it lead to failure. Be patient with its horrors, for there is no death except at the appointed time.”
For their part, the occupation admitted that the alarm sirens remained unactivated while and after the Palestinian Resistance targeted Tel Aviv, noting that one of the rockets fell in the area facing the Gosh Dan settlement.
The Zionist Army Radio then stated that the rockets were launched from Bani Suheila in Khan Younis, which is located around 1.5 kilometers away from the Zionist 98 unit’s deployment.
Zionist media, consequently, said the incident was “a cognitive achievement” for Hamas and the Resistance, as the rockets were able to travel almost 90km from Khan Younis to Tel Aviv.
Resistance pounds the occupation in Khan Younis, Rafah
Simultaneously, the Palestinian Resistance factions continue confronting the occupation across several combat axes in the Gaza Strip, particularly in Khan Younis.
The al-Qassam Brigades targeted two Zionist Merkava tanks using two Yasin 105 shells in al-Zinna, easternmost Khan Younis, and Zalata, easternmost Rafah.
The Brigades also ambushed the occupation in Tal al-Sultan in Rafah, detonating three tunnel eyes where bombs were previously planted.
On its part, the al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, engaged a Zionist soldier and military vehicles gathering in the Abu Hdaf neighborhood, northeastern Khan Younis, with a barrage of mortar shells.
In a joint operation carried out by the al-Qassam and al-Quds Brigades, a Merkava tank was detonated using a Shawaz charge on al-Quds Street in Tal al-Sultan, on Monday.
Footage of the operation was published, featuring a Resistance fighter vowing to strike the occupation forces.
Two Resistance fighters were also shown competing over who would carry out the operation, only to do it together.
As for the Mujahideen Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Mujahideen Movement, they targeted a gathering of occupation vehicles and soldiers on the Netzarim axis with several medium-caliber mortar shells.
The al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades bombed a gathering of occupation soldiers and their vehicles in northeast of Khan Younis, with heavy mortar shells.
The Brigades also published footage documenting its targeting of the occupation headquarters and the positioning of its vehicles in the Netzarim axis, southwest of Gaza City, with heavy-caliber mortar shells.
In a joint operation, the al-Qassam Brigades, in cooperation with the al-Quds Brigades and the Mujahideen Brigades, pounded the occupation forces’ gatherings in eastern Khan Younis with a barrage of mortar shells.
A source within Hamas confirmed to Reuters that the Resistance movement is holding on to its demand, calling for the implementation of the ceasefire agreement the movement approved on July 2 and compelling the regime to comply with it instead of engaging in new rounds of negotiations.
The Hamas senior also denied allegations published by CNN, claiming that the movement’s representatives were scheduled to attend negotiations on Thursday, and confirmed that all claims were “incorrect”.
The source also stressed that “What we [Hamas] need is implementation, not more talks,” consistent with a previous statement issued by the movement.
In the same context, Bloomberg cited a Zionist official as saying that negotiations will be held in Doha, specifically focusing on whether “Hamas would reduce its demands for the ceasefire”.
Arab mediators will hold talks with Hamas after [Thursday’s] negotiations, if the movement decides to boycott them, according to another Zionist official. This comes as the occupying regime refuses to yield its primary demands and conditions.
Hamas calls for implementing July agreement instead of new talks
This comes after US President Joe Biden, Qatar’s Emir Tamim Bin Hamad al-Thani, and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi released a couple of days ago a joint statement calling on the regime and the Palestinian Resistance group to finalize the ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal in a meeting set for next week.
In response to the trilateral statement, Hamas affirmed on Saturday that since the onset of the aggression on Gaza, it has been committed to supporting the mediation efforts led by Egypt and Qatar to secure a ceasefire and end the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people and has consistently backed any initiative that aims to halt the aggression.
It confirmed that it has engaged in numerous negotiation rounds and demonstrated all necessary flexibility and positivity to achieve the goals and interests of the Palestinian people, halt the bloodshed, and end the genocide.
However, Hamas pointed out that the occupation met this approach with rejection, continuing its massacres against the Palestinian people and reiterating its stance that it was not serious about a permanent ceasefire, with its aggressive actions standing as clear evidence of this.
The Palestinian Resistance group said that even after the announcement of the trilateral statement, the occupying regime committed a heinous crime, massacring displaced people at al-Taibeen school in Gaza’s al-Daraj neighborhood during dawn prayers on August 10 and leaving more than one hundred civilians killed and over 250 others injured.
Hamas said that in light of these developments and out of a sense of responsibility and concern for the Palestinian people and their interests, it calls on the mediators to present a plan to implement what they proposed to the movement, which was agreed on, on July 2, based on Biden’s vision and the Security Council’s resolution.
