TEHRAN, Oct. 16 (MNA) – The Hamas military wing, the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, has conducted a new missile strike on Ben-Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv.

In a message published on the group's Telegram channel, the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades said that the shelling came "in response to the [Israeli authorities'] crimes against Palestinian civilians."

The Israeli regime launched the war on Gaza on October 7 after the Palestinian Hamas Resistance group waged a surprise attack, dubbed Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, against the occupying entity.

Hamas said that its operation came in response to Israel’s violations at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East al-Quds and growing Israeli settler violence.

At least 2,750 Palestinians have been killed and 9,700 wounded in Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, the Gaza Health Ministry said on Monday.
