GAZA STRIP (Dispatches) – Hamas launched a barrage of rockets into the Mediterranean on Monday in a "message” to the Zionist regime, a source closed to the Gaza-based resistance movement told AFP.
According to the source, the rockets were meant to show the Zionist regime that Gaza fighters will not "remain silent” in the face of a the Zionist regime’s blockade and "aggression”.
Footage of the launch has been posted online, showing the rockets streak past the sky over the coastal enclave toward the sea. Gaza’s interior ministry described the launch as "an act of resistance”.
On Sunday evening, Gaza fighters also fired a retaliatory rocket toward southern parts of the occupied territories, which was shot down by the Zionist regime’s so-called Iron Dome system.
The Zionist regime’s army had targeted Hamas positions in the enclave, including a cement factory and what it referred to as "underground facilities”, without elaborating.
On Sunday afternoon, the Zionist regime’s tanks fired several rockets toward positions belonging to Palestinian resistance movements in the eastern border area of Deir al-Balah City in central blockaded Gaza Strip, the Palestinian Information Center reported.
The occupying regime claimed in a statement that the aggression displayed after an alleged shooting attack conducted from the blockaded enclave at Zionist troopers stationed in the vicinity of settlement of Kissufim.
No injuries were reported in the Zionist aggression and the alleged shooting attack from Gaza.
The regime every so often launches strikes against positions in the blockaded enclave, accusing the resistance groups there of launching rockets.
Gaza has been under siege by the Zionist regime since June 2007, which has caused a decline in living standards.
The regime has also launched three major wars against the enclave since 2008, killing thousands of Gazans each time and shattering the impoverished territory’s already poor infrastructure.
The crippling blockade has caused a decline in the standard of living as well as unprecedented levels of unemployment and unrelenting poverty in the Gaza Strip.
