Islamic Jihad Hits “Israel”, New Rocket Launcher in Video
al-Intiqad, Gaza
The Palestinian resistant group Islamic Jihad announced Thursday it had fired a missile that hit "Israel's" commercial center in Tel Aviv.
The group, based in the Gaza Strip, said it had fired a Fajr 5 missile. The Iranian missile has a range of up to 75 kilometers (46 miles).
"We have widened the range of the battle to reach Tel Aviv and what is coming will be greater," it said in a statement.
It further threatened that "what comes next will be greater."
In a separate statement, posted on the group's website, spokesman Abu Ahmed pledged that "Israel" would experience "further surprises so long as the aggression against the Palestinian people continues."
"The enemy began the battle but the resistance will determine how the battle will end," he said.
The rocket was the farthest that a Gaza rocket had ever hit inside the Zionist entity.
Images shown on "Israel's" Channel 2 television showed "Israelis" lying on the ground outside the War ministry in central Tel Aviv, their hands over their heads as the sirens wailed.
This comes as "Israel" launched a wide military aggression against the besieged strip which led to the martyrdom of at least 21 people, 5 of whom are children.
Hundreds others were injured in the new wave of attacks, which started on Wednesday.
