Palestinian militant group Hamas on Sunday said it had fired a “large rocket barrage” at Israel’s commercial hub of Tel Aviv, with the military reporting it had intercepted several.
The Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades said in a Telegram post that they had fired “a large rocket barrage at Tel Aviv in response to the Zionist (Israeli) massacres against civilians”.
Israel’s army said at least eight rockets were fired towards central areas of the country from Gaza’s Rafah city. “A number of the projectiles were intercepted ” by Israeli air defences.
Rocket sirens blared in Tel Aviv for the first time in months.
The war in Gaza broke out after Hamas launched an attack on southern Israel on October 7, which resulted in the deaths of more than 1,170 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on Israeli official figures.
Israel’s retaliatory offensive has killed at least 35,984 people in Gaza, mostly civilians, according to the Hamas-run territory’s health ministry.
