Hamas Release Rocket
Attack Near Tel Aviv Area.
Hamas has released a rocket attack at the
Tel Aviv area in central Israel for the first time in nearly four months.
Israeli military said, at least eight
rockets were launched from the Rafah area in southern Gaza, while, several were
intercepted, and no injuries were reported.
The Israeli army is carrying out a
military operation in Rafah, and Rocket sirens sounded in other cities and
towns, including Herzliya and Petah Tikva.
Israel's ambulance service, Magen David
Adom, said many people were being treated for acute anxiety.
The military wing of Hamas, the al-Qassam
Brigades, claimed credit for launching a "big" missile attack on Tel
Aviv, and the rocket attacks came as Israel's army intensified its assault on
Rafah, despite a ruling by the International Court of Justice this week that it
must immediately halt its offensive across Gaza.
