GAZA (Dispatches) – As part of its efforts to strengthen its missile power against the Zionist regime, the Palestinian resistance movements test-fired a new missile on Sunday.
The missile was launched from the coast of Gaza, according to Palestinian sources.
Some sources reported that two rockets were launched during the test.
On December 24th, Palestinian sources reported that the resistance forces have launched a missile test on the shores of Gaza, during which several missiles were fired into the sea.
In recent years, the Palestinian resistance groups in the Gaza Strip have been conducting missile tests from the Gaza coast in order to increase their military forces and maintain their readiness.
Recently, the resistance has been able to target most of the occupied territories with its missiles, surprising the Zionist regime in the Battle of Saif Al-Quds.
The development comes as the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas condemned the United States’ unwavering support for the Zionist regime, saying United Nations resolutions concerning Palestine will not be implemented as long as the occupying regime enjoys Washington’s support.
Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem made the remarks in a statement, after the United Nations General Assembly approved a resolution in favor of Palestinians, according to Arabic-language al-Ahad television network.
“This resolution will add to the long list of international resolutions concerning Palestine, which have never tuned into a practical step to put pressure on the occupying regime even once,” Qassem said.
“As long as the U.S. acts as a partner of the occupying regime and covers up Israeli crimes, all such decisions will remain on paper,” he added.
On Friday, the UNGA adopted a resolution calling on the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to give an opinion on the legal consequences of the decades-long Zionist-Palestinian conflict, the regime’s “annexation” and the “legal status of the occupation” of Palestinian territories.
The resolution is titled “Israeli practices and settlement activities affecting the rights of the Palestinian people and other Arabs of the occupied territories” and calls on The Hague-based ICJ to “render urgently an advisory opinion” on the occupying regime’s “prolonged occupation, settlement and annexation of Palestinian territory.”
It also calls for an investigation into Israeli measures “aimed at altering the demographic composition, character and status of the holy city of Al-Quds” and says the regime has adopted “discriminatory legislation and measures.”
The resolution demands the court weigh in on the conflict in accordance with international law and the UN charter.
Palestine’s UN ambassador Riyad Mansour noted that the vote came one day after the swearing-in of a new far-right Zionist cabinet led by hawkish prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which he said promises an expansion of illegal settlements and will accelerate “colonial and racist policies” towards Palestinians.
