Rocket fired from Gaza falls in sea off Tel Aviv, Israeli army says
Palestinian militants have fired two rockets from the Gaza Strip and one of them landed in the sea off central Israel. The other projectile did not cross into Israeli territory, Israel's military said.
Hamas’ armed wing said it fired two rockets at Tel Aviv, located on the coast in central Israel.
Palestinian rocket fire has dramatically quieted during Israel’s 10-month offensive in Gaza, which was launched in response to Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack into Israel. The last rocket attack on Tel Aviv was on May 26.
Militants still launch sporadic rocket and mortar attacks near the border, but nearly all the projectiles are intercepted or fall in open spaces without causing casualties or damage.
Israel's military said that they determined Khan Younis as the location from which the Palestinian militants fired the rockets aimed at Tel Aviv.
Israel's army last week had launched the last in a series of incursions into the southern Gaza city, triggering another exodus of Palestinians from the area as it resumed an air and ground offensive.
Earlier today, the army said its troops continue to operate in Khan Younis, where they “eliminated terrorists, including from Hamas’ rockets unit.”
