Air raid sirens sounded Wednesday evening across Askalan and several
Gaza-enclosed settlements, following a fresh wave of Palestinian resistance
rocket fire.

According to Israeli media, three rockets were launched from northern Gaza
shortly after the initial siren alerts, setting off a second round of
alarms in the northern Gaza envelope. The strikes reportedly targeted an
IOF tank gathering stationed along the perimeter fence north of the
besieged Strip.

Al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement,
claimed responsibility for the attack, stating that the barrage was
launched at the occupied cities of Asdod and Askalan. The group confirmed
the operation was "in response to the Zionist massacres against our
Palestinian people."

The renewed resistance response comes just hours after the Israeli
occupation forces confirmed the death of a First Sergeant

and the injury of another soldier in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, earlier
Wednesday.
