Hamas fires rockets at Israel’s Tel Aviv
Քաղաքական
Hamas says it has launched rockets at Tel Aviv, prompting sirens to sound in the Israeli city for the first time in several months, Al Jazeera reports.
The Israeli military said on Sunday that eight rockets were launched from the Rafah area in southern Gaza, where its forces have continued a ground assault despite an order from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to halt operations there.
Israel’s air defence system intercepted several of them, the military said.
Rafah is located around 100km (62 miles) south of Tel Aviv.
According to local media reports, sirens sounded in about 30 areas across central Israel including Tel Aviv, and there have been reports of several light injuries due to the attack.
Hamas’s military wing the Qassam Brigades claimed responsibility for the attack, saying in a statement on its Telegram channel on Sunday that the rockets were launched in response to “Zionist massacres against civilians”.
Hamas-linked Al-Aqsa TV said the rockets were launched from the Gaza Strip.
Israel says it wants to root out several Hamas battalions holed up in Rafah and rescue hostages it says are being held in the area, but its assault has worsened the plight of civilians and caused an international outcry.
On Sunday, Israeli strikes killed at least five Palestinians in Rafah, according to local medical services.
Israeli tanks have launched attacks around the edges of the city, close to the main southern crossing point into Egypt, but there has not yet been a full-scale ground assault.
