A long-range rocket was fired from southern Gaza toward the southern Israeli city of Asdod. 

This is the first time in weeks that a long-range missile has been fired from inside Gaza, demonstrating the ability of the Resistance to operate even within the limits imposed by the Israeli war on the Strip. 

More rockets were fired at Israeli military bases within the so-called Gaza envelope as well.

Below are the latest statements by the two main Resistance forces in Gaza, and the Lebanese Resistance Movement Hezbollah. 

The statements were communicated via their Telegram channels and are published here in their original form.
