Rockets from Gaza target Tel Aviv: First barrage in months

Hamas launched rockets toward Tel Aviv in central Israel for the first time in months, according to BBC.

"Numerous rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip towards central Israel, the first rocket barrage directed at the area in months," reports The Jerusalem Post.

"A barrage of rockets was launched from Rafah toward central Israel moments ago," reported the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF).

"Humanitarian aid has been going into Gaza through the Kerem Shalom Crossing this morning, and now rockets are being fired at central Israel," they added.

The rockets were launched from Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip. A fragment of one of the rockets fell in the city of Herzliya near Tel Aviv.

An hour earlier, the IDF reported that sirens were heard in Tel Aviv and other cities in central Israel.
