Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, said it fired on Monday afternoon a salvo of rockets at an Israeli warship off the coast of the Gaza Strip.

In a brief communiqué, al-Qassam Brigades added that it launched rocket counterattacks on some Israeli cities, including Ashdod, Ashkelon and Beersheba, as well as on several military targets.

The Brigades affirmed that it responded to Israel’s ongoing aggression against the Palestinians in Gaza.

Early on Monday, the Israeli occupation army launched another series of air raids on the Gaza Strip, hours after Israel’s caretaker premier Benjamin Netanyahu threatened to commit more massacres in Gaza.

Explosions rocked Gaza City from north to south in a bombardment that was heavier, wider and lasted longer than the airstrikes that killed at least 42 civilians and wounded dozens more on Sunday.

Reporters for the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) said that over 120 air raids were launched after midnight on Monday and continued into the dawn and morning hours, targeting different areas of the coastal enclave, mainly Gaza City.
