As the clock struck midnight on New Year's Eve, the Palestinian resistance in Gaza launched a barrage of rockets against the capital of the Israeli occupation regime, Tel Aviv.
Tehran (ISNA) - The barrage was joyously applauded by the people of Gaza who have been subjected to a genocidal war by the Israeli occupation for the past 87 days.
Israeli media reported that a total of 27 rockets were fired from Gaza during the night, with 18 getting intercepted, and 9 landing in the Palestinian territories occupied in 1948.
Despite the measures taken by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) to undermine the resistance's infrastructure in Gaza, Hamas demonstrated its persistent potential to threaten Israeli settlements in the mainland of occupied Palestine.
Prior to this, an IOF spokesperson had informed reporters that Hamas' artillery potential had been weakened to an average of only 14 rockets per day. Only for the resistance to refute this claim shortly afterward by firing dozens of rockets.
Al-Qassam Brigades and al-Mujahideen Brigades revealed that their fighters conducted a joint operation, targeting an Israeli Apache helicopter with an SA-7, shoulder-fired surface-to-air missile. The Palestinian fighters conducted the operation in the al-Zeitoun neighborhood in Gaza City, the Brigades announced on Sunday afternoon.
To the north of Gaza City, in Beit Lahia, al-Qassam fighters captured an Israeli Skylark-2 unmanned aerial vehicle, while it was on a reconnaissance mission. The Brigades released a video of the Israeli drone a few hours later, documenting the achievement, which has become a near-daily occurrence for the Brigades.
To the west of Gaza City, near Gaza's coast, al-Mujahideen fighters targeted an Israeli military speedboat with a locally produced rocket launcher, dubbed Saeer.
