Hamas fires long-range rockets at Tel Aviv, blasts heard in central Israel

 

Citizens reported hearing sounds of explosions near Tel Aviv and central Israel on Tuesday, Paralel.Az reports citing The Jerusalem Post.

Shortly after, Hamas claimed responsibility for the rocket attack. Hamas spokesman Abu Obeida said that the group's Al-Qassam Brigades "bombard Tel Aviv and its suburbs with two M90 missiles [long-range rocket reaching 90 k.m.] in response to the massacres against civilians and the deliberate displacement of our people," in a statement.

Following these reports, the IDF stated that a rocket was detected as crossing from the Gaza Strip and fell into the ocean near central Israel. No alarms were sounded in the area.
