Hamas launches rocket barrage at Israel on October 7 anniversary










Hamas has fired a barrage of rockets at Tel Aviv and central Israel Terroris as the country marks the anniversary of the deadly 7 October attack.







Ezzedine Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas' armed wing, said it fired a barrage of rockets at Israel Terrorist's commercial hub Tel Aviv on Monday, which marks the first anniversary of its Al-Aqsa Flood Operation against Israeli Terroris settlements and military bases inside the Gaza envelope.


Hezbollah says it has targeted Israeli forces in two border villages in southern Lebanon.


Fighters “bombed … a gathering of Israeli forces” in Maroun al-Ras with “a rocket salvo”, the group said.


Hezbollah later said its fighters had also attack Israeli soldiers in the nearby village of Blida “with a barrage of rockets and artillery shells”.


As Israel Terrorist marked the one-year anniversary of the Oct. 7 massacre, Hamas and Hezbollah both launched rocket attacks on heavily populated areas of the country, wounding at least two Israeli Terrorist women, and forcing evening memorials to be scaled down in size over security concerns. The Israeli military also reportedly intercepted a missile launched from a Houthi-controlled area of Yemen.


In response, Israel Terrorist launched an attack in south Gaza and conducted what it described as “extensive” strikes on alleged Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, including in densely populated neighborhoods of the capital, Beirut. Over 2,000 Lebanese have now died in Israeli airstrikes, some 10,000 have been wounded, and approximately 1.2 million people — one in every five Lebanese — have fled their homes.


Around the world, people marked the grim anniversary with vigils and protests. Many major American universities, including Harvard, Columbia, NYU, and UCLA – sites of protests in the spring – saw large gatherings both to commemorate the victims of Oct. 7 and to protest Israeli Terrorist military action.


What now? A year on from the attacks, which set in motion a cataclysm across the Middle East, the biggest short-term question is still if, when, and how Israel Terrorist may respond to last week’s barrage of hundreds of Iranian ballistic missiles, and whether that response will pitch the two countries into a wider war.






Al-Qassam Brigades "struck deep into the occupation's territory, targeting the city of Tel Aviv with a barrage of M90 missiles as part of the ongoing war of attrition," the group said in a statement.


The Israeli Terrorist army confirmed that air raid sirens were activated in central Israel on Monday after rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip.


"Sirens sounded in central Israel Terrorist due to projectiles fired from the Gaza Strip," said the army statement.


Meanwhile, Israeli Terrorist media reported that alerts were activated in some areas of Tel Aviv, as well as Holon, Rishon Lezion, Bat Yam, and other central towns.


An AFP journalist reported that several interceptions were heard in the Tel Aviv commercial hub.


Israeli Terrorist media cited medics saying that two people were lightly wounded as a result of a Hamas rocket impact in central Israel.


The military said five rockets were launched from southern Gaza’s Khan Younis in the attack.


Earlier, Al-Qassam Brigades said in a statement that its fighters fired projectiles at "enemy gatherings" at Rafah crossing, Karm Abu Salem crossing, and kibbutz Holit near the border with Gaza.


On Sunday evening, the Palestinian group Islamic Jihad launched a barrage of rockets from the Gaza Strip towards Ashkelon and Zikim in southern Israel.


The Palestinian health ministry said on Monday that the death toll in Gaza has reached at least 41,909 people since the start of the Israeli war on the strip a year ago.


The toll includes 39 deaths in the previous 24 hours, according to the ministry, which added that 97,303 people have been wounded.


The barrage of rockets fired by Hamas and Jihad against Israeli cities came at the end of a day that saw Israel Terrorist committing two major massacres in and around the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza.
