362nd day: South Gaza under fire; Iran strikes back; mass shooting in Tel Aviv
For the 362nd consecutive day, the “Israeli” military continues its operations in Gaza, with airstrikes targeting civilian displacement areas in Khan Younis and Deir al-Balah, resulting in several deaths and injuries.
Meanwhile, Hamas’ military wing, the al-Qassam Brigades, has launched new attacks against “Israeli” forces.
Iran escalated tensions by launching more than 250 ballistic missiles at Israel, prompting widespread evacuations as air raid sirens blared across the country.
“Israeli” officials indicated that their response would focus on strategic Iranian targets, including oil production facilities.
The Iranian military’s chief of staff, Mohammad Bagheri, warned of strikes against “Israel’s” infrastructure if retaliatory action was taken.
Over 100 missiles were reportedly fired from Iran, with one confirmed to have struck a building in Tel Aviv.
Hamas military wing spokesperson Abu Obaida praised Iran’s response, calling it a significant day in the history of the conflict.
He commended the unity of resistance forces across the region, including strikes from Yemen, Lebanon, Palestine, and Iran.
In parallel, “Israel” continues its airstrikes on Lebanon, though Hezbollah denied reports of any ground incursions into southern Lebanon.
In a separate incident, a shooting in Tel Aviv left seven settlers dead and 16 others injured, six critically, after gunmen opened fire on passengers aboard a light rail train.
As tensions escalate, Brent crude oil prices surged over USD 1, reaching USD 74.56 per barrel.
