The Resistance group announced that it had targeted Tel Aviv on Sunday with an M90 rocket in response to the massacres against the Palestinian civilians in Gaza.
In Gaza, al-Qassam Brigades announced on Monday conducting two consecutive operations targeting an occupattion force and its reinforcements unit in Khan Younis.
In the al-Qarara area, northeast of Khan Yunis, the Resistance group said it targeted a force taking cover in a house with a TBG anti-fortification shell and another anti-personnel shell.
In the second operation, al-Qassam fighters detonated a pre-rigged tunnel under a Zionist force of five soldiers that had advanced to the location, killing and wounding its members.
Meanwhile, the Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades, the military wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, launched 60mm artillery shells and rocket barrages, targeting occupation forces gathered east of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip and the village of al-Masdar.
Immediately after the group’s operation, the occupation forces began shelling nearby areas and deployed smoke to cover the evacuation of their wounded soldiers.
The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, for their part, released two videos documenting their strikes on occupation forces and military vehicles in the Netzarim corridor using two 107 rockets and heavy mortar shells. They also showcased their shelling of the occupation in eastern Deir al-Balah and the eastern Al-Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip.
The attack on Netzarim was carried out jointly with the Mujahideen Brigades.
The Palestinian Resistance continues to confront the occupation forces in the Gaza Strip on the 324th day of the Al-Aqsa Flood Operation, causing substantial losses to the invading forces.
On Sunday, exclusive footage was released on Al Mayadeen of a joint operation conducted by the al-Nasser Salah al-Din Brigades and the al-Ansar Brigades against Zionist positions.
The coordinated attack, utilizing heavy mortar shells, targeted the command and control base in the Netzarim Axis, according to the groups.
Meanwhile, confrontations between Palestinian Resistance fighters and the occupation in the al-Zaytoun neighborhood east of Gaza City have intensified and extended to the eastern fronts of Deir al-Balah, central Gaza with reports stating that the Resistance has inflicted a large number of casualties among Zionist soldiers.
Intense battles were also heard in the al-Zana and Abasan al-Jadida areas east of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, the correspondent said.
Following reports of an explosion in Tel Aviv and the activation of sirens, the al-Qassam Brigades announced that they had targeted the city with an M90 rocket in response to Zionist massacres against civilians and the deliberate displacement of the Palestinian people.
Near the University College, south of the Tell al-Hawa neighborhood in Gaza City, al-Qassam reported that one of their snipers had shot a Zionist soldier. The group also released footage of the operation.
For their part, the al-Quds Brigades said they targeted the Abu Mutaybiq military site east of the Maghazi refugee camp with several mortar shells, and detonated a pre-planted explosive device on a military vehicle near the al-Furqan School in the al-Zaytoun neighborhood.
Additionally, the Al-Mujahideen Brigades announced that their fighters, in coordination with the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, targeted a military gathering in the Netzarim Axis with a rocket barrage.
In another joint operation, the groups targeted gatherings of Zionist forces and vehicles east of Deir al-Balah with 107mm rocket barrages.
The al-Mujahideen Brigades also separately announced that they struck occupation forces stationed in the Netzarim Axis with two Haseb 111 rockets.
Furthermore, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, in coordination with the al-Qassam Brigades, carried out a strike on the Zikim military base using heavy mortar shells.
Meanwhile, the Omar al-Qasim Forces, the military wing of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, stated that their fighters successfully detonated a highly explosive device on a tank advancing near the al-Furqan School. The explosion caused significant damage to the tank and resulted in casualties among its crew, the group added.
In other news, a Zionist airstrike on a residential area in the Nur Shams refugee camp, in Tulkarm, in the occupied West Bank, led to the martyrdom of at least five Palestinians on Monday night.
The aggression marks yet another aspect of the regime’s war on Palestinians, be it in the Gaza Strip or the occupied West Bank.
Local media identified the martyrs as Jibril Jibril, Muhannad al-Qarawi, Mohammad al-Sheikh Yousef, Adnan Aysar al-Jaber, and Mohammad Alyan.
Martyr Jibril was freed by the Resistance from prisons in late 2023 after it conducted a prisoner exchange deal with the Israeli regime.
Tulkarm has seen multiple incursions and confrontations that have lasted for days since October 7, 2023. The governorate’s youth and natives have insisted on supporting their copatriots in the Gaza Strip.
Despite Zionist policies of “maximum pressure” on Tulkarm and other governorates in the West Bank, Palestinians have continued to resist incursions and have conducted multiple successful operations in the occupied territory.
It is also worth noting that another Palestinian, Khalil Salem Ziada, was martyred after being shot at by illegal settlers who invaded the West Bank town of Wadi Rahhal, in Beit Lahm.
Palestinian Resistance factions promise, call for escalation
Early on Tuesday, Palestinian Resistance factions condemned the atrocious airstrike on the Nur Shams refugee camp, blaming Arab states’ complacency for what they described to be acts of genocide against Palestinian people in both the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.
Below we publish their full statements:

The Tulkarem massacre shows that the occupation is committing genocide against our people in the West Bank just as in Gaza.
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine confirmed that the brutal massacre committed by the occupation in Tulkarem, during a criminal airstrike carried out by the occupation’s air force on the evening of Monday, August 26, 2024, is part of the ongoing genocide against our people, which has now extended to the occupied West Bank amid official international and Arab silence and complicity.
The Front asserts that the occupation’s targeting of citizens’ homes through airstrikes in the occupied West Bank is a war crime, situated within the context of a systematic campaign of killings and executions carried out by the occupier against our people as part of a comprehensive genocide war.
Today’s crime in Tulkarem coincides with threats from the occupation to escalate its aggression through a comprehensive military operation in the occupied West Bank, aimed at the existence, lives, and properties of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.
The escalation of the occupation’s war against the Palestinian presence and the daily crimes it commits against our people occur with the full complicity of the international system, supported and partnered by the United States of America, which has led the declaration of the genocide war against our people and continues to provide support, weaponry, and political and military cover for it.
Today, our people have no choice but unity in the trench of resistance, and the escalation of all forms of struggle against the occupier. There is no escape from engaging in this fateful battle imposed by the occupation, which threatens the existence of our entire people.
We call for the declaration of a comprehensive national state of emergency, including the formation of a unified national emergency leadership to lead our people’s struggle in defense of their right to existence, freedom, statehood, and return.
We warn Arab states that what is happening today—the abandonment of the Palestinian people—is reminiscent of the Arab betrayal in 1948 and the catastrophic consequences that followed, which our nation’s peoples continue to pay for to this day.

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
The new zionist assassination operation, which targeted a house in the Nour Shams camp in Tulkarem this Monday evening, and coincides with the occupation’s announcement of intensifying its operations in the governorates of the West Bank, confirms the continuation of the occupation’s crimes and massacres extending from Gaza to every inch of the homeland. It is a desperate attempt to uproot the thorn of resistance that inflicts pain on the occupation through its qualitative operations.
We affirm that this fierce war waged by the occupation against our land and people will not bring the occupation security and stability. Instead, it will ignite the ground with fire under the feet of its soldiers and settlers.
The Hamas movement, while mourning the five martyrs of our people who rose in the Nour Shams camp, confirms that their pure blood will not be in vain. It will fuel the escalation of resistance and the continuation of its heroic operations. Moreover, the occupation’s escalation of its aggression in the governorates of the West Bank will only strengthen our resolve and will not stop the tide of resistance and the rising wave of anger across all parts of the valiant West Bank.
We call upon the masses of our people in the proud West Bank for more clashing, confrontation, and resistance against the occupation and its settlers as part of the Al-Aqsa Flood battle, to confuse them and shake the security of their so-called entity.
And indeed, it is a jihad of victory or martyrdom.

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
The escalation of crimes by the zionist entity and its settlers in the occupied West Bank over the past few hours is a decision for an undeclared open war on our Palestinian people.
The enemy’s use of drones to bomb a house inside the Nour Shams camp in Tulkarem, resulting in the martyrdom of five people, including at least one child, and the armed settler attack on Wadi Rahhal west of Bethlehem, which led to the martyrdom of another person, and the imposition of closures on large areas in the northern West Bank, all indicate that the enemy has decided to shift the focus of its operations from Gaza to the West Bank.
The decision by the enemy’s government to fund incursions to desecrate the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque under the pretext of tourist visits is the legal framework through which it seeks to deceive the world about a plan announced by Ben-Gvir yesterday morning to build a synagogue inside the courtyards of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque and to impose its temporal and spatial division.
The increasing brutality and ferocity of zionist crimes in the West Bank, which come as part of the entity’s attempt to cover up its failures in Gaza and southern Lebanon, could not have occurred without the disgraceful Arab complicity, leaving the Palestinian people alone in a battle that the zionist criminals want to be a decisive turning point in the course of the struggle.
As we mourn the five martyrs who fell in the Nour Shams camp tonight, and the sixth martyr in Bethlehem, we call on all our people, everywhere, to mobilize to confront the plans of displacement and genocide against our people in the occupied West Bank, which the zionist criminals want to be similar to the genocidal war in Gaza.
And indeed, it is a jihad of victory or martyrdom
