Hamas fires rockets at Tel Aviv for the first time in months | Global News

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Air raid sirens have not been heard in the city for some time, but that changed when Hamas launched rocket attacks from Gaza towards Tel Aviv for the first time in months. The attack, which occurred on Sunday, saw eight projectiles crossing into Israel after being launched from the southern Gaza city of Rafah. Israel’s Iron Dome defense system intercepted several of the missiles, preventing any immediate casualties or damage.

Hamas’s military wing claimed responsibility for the attack, marking the first long-range rocket attack from Gaza since January. While Palestinian militants have sporadically fired rockets and mortar rounds at communities along the Gaza border, this recent attack on Tel Aviv is significant.

The Israeli military is now faced with the challenge of responding to this escalation of violence. The International Court of Justice has ordered Israel to halt its offensive in Rafah, but Israel insists that it is key to its self-defense and goal of destroying Hamas entirely.

Meanwhile, in Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is under pressure to make a deal with Hamas to free remaining hostages after several bodies were recently recovered. Large protests erupted in Tel Aviv over the weekend, with tensions running high between protesters and police.

As the Israel-Hamas war enters its eighth month, the death toll continues to rise, with almost 36,000 Palestinians killed according to the Gaza health ministry. The conflict has displaced the majority of Gaza’s population, highlighting the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the region.
