TEHRAN – Settlers were furious after Hamas launched a rocket in an Israeli city despite 18 months of genocide in the Gaza Strip.
Israeli media reported a wave of fury among the settlers following the new rocket fire from Gaza to Ashdod and Ashkelon.
After Gaza resumed artillery fire on Sunday night, a surge in rage spread among settlers, with around ten rockets being launched towards Ashdod, Ashkelon and Gun Yabne.
According to Nitzanshapira, a Southern correspondent for Israel Channel 12, only half of the rockets were intercepted.
The channel reported that settlers had expressed anger, Uri, a resident of Ashkelon, saying, “It’s been a year and a half war in Gaza and they’re still firing rockets in our city.”
He added, “The situation is ridiculous. We are still under attack.”
Raffy, another resident of the same settlement, said, “The sirens disappeared and, as usual, we rushed to a safe room. Before we closed the door, an explosion struck us nearby. It’s a miracle that we were unharmed.”
The channel noted that the rocket shots damaged Ashkelon’s vehicle, prompting city mayor Tomar Gram to demand a strict military response to Hamas.
Meanwhile, Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gwil said “the rocket fire must be filled with serious reactions,” vowed to continue the US-backed war of genocide over Gaza.
The Fascist Minister also emphasized that “Israel will not tolerate attacks on its territory.”
Previously, the Alcasam Brigade, the armed wing of Hamas, claimed responsibility for the rocket barrage of occupied Ashdod, calling it a “reaction to the Zionist massacre against civilians.”
Israeli media confirmed several casualties in Ashkelon and the damage to the vehicle caused by a rocket fire.
Israeli occupation forces acknowledged that 10 rockets had been fired from Gaza and claimed they had intercepted five.
The 18-month war of massacres in Gaza killed more than 50,000 Palestinians. Most of them are women and children. Genocide left the government, which was segregated on the international stage, because its leader wanted the Hague.
