Videos broadcast by Israeli activists and media accounts showed great damage due to rockets fired by the resistance in Gaza towards the city of Ashdod (south of Tel Aviv), and caused direct damage to homes and cars.
The "unprecedented" pictures show Israeli cars on fire, and great destruction in the place, in addition to burning fires that the occupation teams and Israelis are trying to extinguish.

The broadcast of the photos came after the Al-Qassam Brigades announced the targeting of Ashdod, Ashkelon, Beersheba, Sderot and the Raem base with a large missile launch.
The Al-Qassam Brigades indicated that the recent rockets were a response to the massacre of the occupation against civilians at night in Gaza and the attack on the people of Sheikh Jarrah.

Today, Sunday, Israeli media reported that 3,000 rockets have been fired from the Gaza Strip towards Israeli cities and towns since the beginning of the escalation.
The rocket fire came in response to the repeated attacks by the occupation on the Palestinians in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood and the worshipers at Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the continuous bombardment on the Gaza Strip.
This left hundreds of martyrs and wounded and massive damage to the infrastructure.
