Al Jazeera
The Israeli army has said that eight rockets were fired from Gaza, targeting central Israel, including Tel Aviv.
Hamas says it has launched rockets at Tel Aviv, prompting sirens to sound in the Israeli city for the first time in several months.
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.
