On the other hand, Palestinian resistance immediately fired several rockets towards the settlements in Gaza envelope.

For his part, Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem, said at dawn on Monday that the Israeli bombardment on the Gaza Strip, which coincided with the aggression on Nablus and Jerusalem, confirms “that we are facing aggression against all our Palestinian people.”

“The Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, responded to the occupation raids and  confused  its army and settlers,” he stated in a press statement .

“The resistance will remain the shield and sword of our people, and this aggression will be broken by our people’s revolution, steadfastness and valiant resistance action,” he said.
