The armed wing of Hamas, Salah a-Din, claimed on Wednesday that it had shot a Nasser-1 short-range missile towards a settlement in the Nablus area. A statement released by the organization said that the IDF had confirmed the attack and that it was "a present to the martyrs and their spirits, the wounded and the Palestinian prisoners," adding that it was "the first step on the way to exterminating the Zionists with missiles of the Palestinian resistance."
