Satellite Images Reveal Aftermath of Heavy Missile Attacks on Tel Aviv, Sderot

Satellite imagery acquired shortly after Palestinian forces unleashed a barrage of missiles and rockets, targeting various locations in the Israeli cities of Tel Aviv and Sderot, reveals a significant extent of destruction.

This major operation, named "Al-Aqsa Storm," was initiated by Palestinians on Saturday in retaliation for perceived "Zionist crimes" and repeated "violations of the sanctity of the Al-Aqsa Mosque." Mohammad Dhaif, the overall commander of Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, announced the operation.

Exclusive satellite images obtained by Iran-based Tasnim News' space desk from international sources provide a glimpse into the aftermath of the assault on various occupied Palestinian territories. The images, captured approximately 8 hours after the commencement of the operation, reveal the impact of missiles and rockets launched by the resistance forces. Multiple points in the cities of Tel Aviv and Sderot were struck, resulting in widespread fires, particularly in Sderot.

Palestinian fighters claimed control of Israeli settlements in the 1948-occupied territories. Their offensive included the launch of over 5,000 homemade rockets directed towards these colonial Israeli settlements.

The military wing of Hamas announced on Sunday that they had captured a significant number of Israelis from the occupied territories. These captives were reported to be distributed throughout various areas in the Gaza Strip.

The situation continues to escalate, with both sides locked in a cycle of violence with no immediate end in sight.
