Tehran, IRNA - The Qassam Brigades, the Hamas movement's military wing pounded Ashkelon and other cities in central occupied lands in retaliation for brutal aggression on Gaza with rockets, local media reported.

Qassam Brigades said in a statement on Monday afternoon that its forces had targeted enemy gatherings at Sufa's military support base with rockets.

The Zionist regime started the war against Gaza on October 7 after the territory’s Palestinian Hamas resistance movement launched the surprise Operation al-Aqsa Storm against the occupying entity in response to the regime’s decades-long campaign of bloodletting and devastation against Palestinians.

According to Gaza’s health ministry, more than 15,500 Palestinians have been killed and over 41,300 others wounded since the beginning of Israel’s genocidal war on the coastal territory.

The ministry added that 70 percent of the victims are children and innocent women.
