Gaza /PNN/

The Israeli occupation continues its brutal aggression on the Gaza Strip for the third consecutive day, while the Islamic Jihad Movement and Palestinian resistance respond to the aggression by launching rocket barrages that reached Gaza's envelope, Tel Aviv, and Jaffa.

Local and media sources in Gaza reported that Israeli warplanes bombed two houses in Khan Younis and Beit Lahia in the south and north of the Gaza Strip on Wednesday evening.

They added that Israeli warplanes also targeted a house belonging to the Aga family in the town of Al-Qarara, east of Khan Younis.

Israeli warplanes also targeted a house belonging to the Al-Masri family in the Beit Lahia area in the northern Gaza Strip.

After midnight on Wednesday, Israeli warplanes targeted a residential building in the city of Hamas in the south of the Gaza Strip.

The sources mentioned that Israeli warplanes bombed an apartment through a suicide drone, resulting in the martyrdom of one citizen and injuries to others.

Al-Quds Brigades mourned its martyr, the jihadist leader Ali Hassan Ghali, "Abu Mohammed" - a member of the military council and the commander of the rocket unit in Al-Quds Brigades, who was killed in a treacherous Zionist assassination operation at dawn today in Khan Younis, south of the Gaza Strip, along with a number of other martyrs.

The Gaza Strip has been witnessing a brutal Israeli aggression since Tuesday morning, starting with the assassination of three leaders of the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement, Al-Quds Brigades, which resulted in 25 martyrs and dozens of wounded, as well as causing extensive damage to buildings and civilian facilities.

With the destruction of this residential apartment, the number of houses destroyed partially or completely by the warplanes' rockets in different areas of the Gaza Strip has risen to 14 houses, especially in the city of Gaza and Rafah in the south of the Strip, where 10 houses and residential apartments were destroyed partially or completely on the first day of the aggression, in addition to the complete destruction of three civilian vehicles.

The death toll for the third consecutive day has risen to 24 martyrs and 64 wounded, most of whom are children and women, with some in critical and serious conditions, in addition to the destruction of residential apartments, houses, and many civilian facilities.

The Islamic Jihad movement warned Israel on Wednesday evening regarding the bombing of civilians' homes in the Gaza Strip, stating that it will face intensified bombing of Tel Aviv and Israeli territory in response. Meanwhile, the Joint Room of Palestinian resistance factions in the Gaza Strip confirmed that the resistance is ready for all options, and if the occupation persists in its aggression and recklessness, dark days are waiting for it.
