A new Israeli airstrike on the besieged Gaza Strip has left at least three Palestinians martyred and 10 injured. The overall death toll now stands at 33.
The Israeli airstrike on Friday hit an apartment in Gaza City’s Al-Nasr neighborhood.
Reports said a senior commander of the Al-Quds Brigades was among those martyred in the attack.
Earlier in the day, Israeli warplanes bombed a house east of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, completely destroying it.
One of the victims of the attack in the Al-Nasr neighborhood has been identified as Iyad al-Hassani, a senior commander in the Palestinian Islamic Jihad's military wing.
Gaza’s health ministry said the Israeli aggression has so far martyred 33 people, including six children and three women, and injured 111 others.
The Palestinian Islamic Jihad has vowed to strike targets deep inside Israel in response to the targeting of residential homes in Gaza.
The Israeli regime has been continuously bombarding the strip over the past four days, assassinating several resistance commanders in the besieged Gaza Strip.
In response, Palestinian resistance factions have launched retaliatory strikes toward Israeli cities and settlements.
The Israeli Army says so far nearly 1,000 rockets have been fired from the strip.
On Friday, Palestinian resistance factions fired rockets toward al-Quds for the first time since the ongoing Israeli war on Gaza began on Tuesday.
Israeli towns near the Gaza border also came under renewed rocket fire.
On Thursday, an Israeli was killed and several others injured by Palestinian rocket fire in the Israeli city of Rehovot.
The Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement says intense missile strikes by resistance forces against Israeli settlements and cities will not stop until the regime’s aggression and its policy of assassinating Palestinian leaders stops.
After more than a year of unrelenting Israeli violence that has killed over 140 Palestinians, the latest escalation has drawn international calls on Israel to stop its crimes.
The regime has grown more violent since Benjamin Netanyahu returned to power late last year as the head of an extremist far-right coalition cabinet.
The ongoing violence has been met with international calls for de-escalation, with the European Union pushing for an immediate ceasefire.
