A massive fire broke out in one of the buildings in Tel Aviv due to the resistance rockets launched as the new year began.
These powerful strikes send a clear signal about the resistance’s ability to continue launching rockets at the Israeli occupation despite the brutal war on the Gaza Strip, which has been ongoing for 85 days.

The website “Israel Today” explained, “The army claimed to have destroyed 80% of Hamas’ missile capabilities, and today, Hamas greets the New Year by striking at the center of Israel… Hamas has prevailed over us.”
Israeli journalist Hillel Beaton from Channel 14 commented, “The barrage towards Tel Aviv at the beginning of 2024, with no intelligence information or deterrent measures, came after three months of the war, where our forces are deployed throughout most of the sector.”
The Israeli occupation army had claimed victories over Palestinian resistance and worked to undermine it, but the military and field reality indicates otherwise.
