Two Palestinians carried out a shooting operation at a train station in Tel Aviv, occupied Palestine.

Several Israeli settlers have been killed and dozens more injured after two armed Palestinians opened fire in central Tel Aviv, Israeli media reported. 

An unfinalized toll indicates that eight settlers were killed and at least 25 others were injured, with several in critical and moderate conditions. 

Israeli media described the shooting operation, which was documented across several areas in Tel Aviv, as a "dangerous" operation carried out by two Palestinian fighters using machine guns, at a train station in al-Quds street in occupied Yafa. 

Yedioth Ahronoth and Israeli paramedics initially reported three fatalities and seven injuries at the time of the incident.

Israeli Channel 12 stated that the individuals who carried out the attack opened fire on Israeli settlers waiting for buses in Tel Aviv.

For its part, the Israeli Broadcasting Authority reported, citing a source within the Israeli occupation police, that estimates indicate that the shooting was an attack carried out by a Palestinian.

At least one has been martyred, reports alleged.

At the same time, while the operation to track down the shooters in Tel Aviv is still ongoing, it was announced that Iran has begun launching missiles from its territory at "Israel".

'Israel' Imposes Public Restrictions as Hezbollah Pounds Tel Aviv

The Israeli occupation forces are taking several measures prohibiting public gatherings or celebratory activities as Hezbollah continues defending Lebanon and Gaza.

The Israeli occupation forces imposed additional restrictions in the occupied north and central "Israel", including occupied al-Quds, following changes authorized by Security Minister Yoav Gallant in directing the internal front in the central district after it was pounded by Hezbollah's rockets. 

The IOF spokesperson announced that activities in Tel Aviv, al-Quds, al-Karmil, and Wadi Ara, in the northern West Bank would be reduced, as well as Hasharon and Hashvila, coinciding with the period prior to the Jewish New Year. All suspensions will remain in effect until Saturday. 

Moreover, the IOF imposed restrictions on gatherings, allowing 30 people at most to gather in public, and 300 in closed spaces. Beaches have been shut in light of the escalations with the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon. 

Meanwhile, Israeli media reported the cancellation of several events in occupied al-Quds, including the performance of the Jewish New Year prayer, scheduled for Wednesday, at the Buraq Wall square in al-Aqsa Mosque.

This comes after Hezbollah commenced its "Khaybar" operations earlier on Tuesday by launching barrages of Fadi 4-typed rocket toward the Glilot base of the 8200 military intelligence unit, as well as the Mossad headquarters located in the suburbs of Tel Aviv.

The operation comes amid an ongoing Israeli aggression on Lebanon, especially its South and East, as well as the Southern Suburb of the capital Beirut, where Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah was assassinated.

In a statement, Hezbollah said the attack comes in response to "the targeting of civilians and the massacres committed by the enemy, in support of our steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and in solidarity with their valiant and honorable resistance, as well as in defense of Lebanon and its people."

It marked the first time the Islamic Resistance deployed the Fadi 4 rocket to target Israeli military targets.

Hezbollah announced another operation within the "Khaybar" series, targeting the Sde Dov airbase in the suburbs of Tel Aviv with a barrage of Fadi 4 rockets, only a few moments ago.

YAF spokesperson Yahya Saree has announced the execution of three military operations, in support of Lebanon and Palestine, and in retaliation to the US-UK aggression on Yemen.

In support of the Lebanese and Palestinian people and their Resistance, and in response to the US-UK aggression against Yemen, the naval, missile, and UAV forces of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out three military operations, announced spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree on Tuesday.

The first operation targeted the Cordelia Moon British oil tanker in the Red Sea using eight ballistic and cruise missiles, a drone, and an uncrewed surface boat, resulting in severe damages. 

The second and third operations targeted the Marathopolis tanker in the Indian Ocean for violating the maritime ban imposed by the YAF on ships sailing in the designated operations zone toward the occupied ports of Palestine. 

The Marathopolis was first struck with a winged missile, then with a drone. Saree noted that a direct hit was achieved.

Saree pledged that the YAF would continue carrying out their military operations and would not break the naval blockage against the Israeli enemy until all aggression on Lebanon and Gaza stops, and the blockade on Gaza is lifted.

Earlier on Tuesday, the UAV force of the YAF struck an Israeli military target in occupied Yafa (Eilat) using a Yafa-type drone, as well as other military targets in occupied Umm al-Rashrash (Eilat) with four Samad-4 drones, pointing out that the two operations achieved their objectives precisely.

Two US Occupation Bases in Northeastern Syria Hit by Missile Strikes

The United States is sending extra fighter aircraft squadrons to the Middle East to strengthen its security posture as attacks against its occupation troops escalate.

US occupation bases in the Conoco and al-Omar oil fields in Syria's Deir Ezzor governorate have been targeted by missiles, according to a Syrian field source on Tuesday.

The source reported that "The US base in the Conoco field was hit by more than 10 missiles ... As a result of the strikes, a fire broke out in the area of the base."

According to the source, the US facility in the al-Omar field was also targeted with missiles.

Only days ago intense rocket and drone bombardment targeted the headquarters of the US occupation's armored forces stationed at the Conoco gas field base in Deir Ezzor, eastern Syria, during the early hours of Sunday, according to Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Baghdad.

Field sources confirmed to Al Mayadeen that Resistance factions targeted the US occupation base for the second time in retaliation for the US airstrikes on the Harabesh neighborhood on the eastern side of the city of Deir Ezzor.

A field source also emphasized that the intense shelling on Conoco resulted in direct hits on the headquarters of the armored division.

It is worth noting that US and coalition forces in Iraq and Syria have been targeted with dozens of attacks since October 2023, following the start of the Israeli war on Gaza.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq claimed responsibility for the majority of the operations, citing the US involvement in the Israeli genocide in Gaza, conditioning that they would stop when the war on the Strip ended.

The US military has some 2,500 troops deployed in Iraq and 900 in occupied territories in Syria.

Victoria Base near Baghdad airport comes under fire

In response to the US' unwavering support for Israeli aggression on Gaza, Lebanon, and Yemen, an attack targeted the US military's Victoria base near Baghdad Airport late Monday into Tuesday.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Iraq reported that four consecutive explosions were heard around the base, with alarm sirens sounding within the facility. As of now, no group has claimed responsibility for the operation.

This operation underscores the ongoing Resistance against US military involvement in the region amidst its unequivocal backing of "Israel's" actions as the occupation ramped up its aggression on Lebanon.

The United States will send extra fighter aircraft squadrons to the Middle East to strengthen its security posture as combat in the area escalates, Pentagon Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh told reporters Monday.

"The forces due to rotate into theater to replace them will now instead augment the in-place forces already in the region," according to Singh. "Again, I won't talk specific timelines or numbers for OPSEC [Operational Security] reasons, but can tell you these augmented forces include F-16, F-15E, A-10, F-22 fighter aircraft, and associated personnel."

The US Department of Defense stated on Sunday that it has increased the readiness of extra US soldiers to respond swiftly to a potential assault by Iran and its allies against US personnel and interests in the Middle East.

Resistance Groups Hail Iran’s Missile Attack Against Israeli Regime

Tuesday, 01 October 2024 8:10 PM 

On October 1, 2024, Iran pounded Israel with dozens of missiles in response to the assassination of senior Resistance leaders by the regime.

Following the Islamic Republic’s retaliatory missile operation against Israel in response to the recent crimes of the Zionist regime, Resistance groups have officially expressed support for Tehran.

The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas said, "We bless the Iranian missile launches that came in response to the Zionist aggression against the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples.

"We affirm that this honorable Iranian response is a strong message to the Zionist enemy and its fascist government, aimed at deterring them and curbing their terrorism. Their crimes, arrogance, and violations of international laws and humanitarian norms have exceeded all limits."

“We express our pride in our brothers in the Islamic Republic of Iran and our appreciation for their stance against the unchecked Zionist arrogance and their alignment with the values of justice, the Palestinian people's struggle, the Lebanese people, as well as the supreme interests of the Islamic Nation, which are represented in ending the occupation and deterring the fascist Zionist enemy,” the statement noted.

In the end, the statement called on all countries, peoples, parties, and all forces of Arab and Islamic nations to stand united and confront the zionist crimes and the expansionist Zionist project, which targets everyone.

“We urge them to work by all means to liberate our land and sanctities from the filth of the fascist occupation.”

The Iraqi Resistance Coordination Committee also issued a statement.

“In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. If the Americans intervene in any hostile action against the Islamic Republic or if the Zionist enemy uses Iraqi airspace to carry out any bombing operations on its territory, then all American bases and interests in Iraq and the region will be our target, (and there will be no escape).

The Political Bureau of Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement released a congratulatory statement concerning the “qualitative operation,” hailing it for “achieving direct and painful hits on sensitive military and security sites across the map of the occupied Palestinian territories.”

“The Iranian missile attacks that forced millions of Zionists to flee to shelters constituted a real deterrent to the entity,” the statement added.

“The blessed operation sent a clear and strong message to the American enemy, the main partner in all the crimes and massacres of the Zionist enemy over the course of a whole year.”

The bureau lauded the Islamic Republic as “a real supporter of the Palestinian cause after many Arab and Islamic regimes abandoned it,” and hailed the country for backing “the resistance and the oppressed.”

Yemen’s Ansarullah spokesman Mohammed Abdul Salam said, “Deterring and confronting the Zionist enemy entity is the only way to curb and prevent it from continuing its brutal crimes against the Palestinian and Lebanese people and in the region.”

“We bless the Iranian operation that struck military targets of the enemy inside occupied Palestine, and we salute the Islamic Republic for its support of Palestine and its resistance against American hegemony in the region.”
