Hamas Fires New Barrage of Rockets at Israel

Three loud explosions were heard over Tel Aviv on Tuesday night shortly before 11 p.m. as a salvo of rockets was launched from the Gaza Strip.

Rocket alert sirens were heard in Beersheba, central Israel and in communities across the country’s South.

The military wing of the Islamist Hamas said it pounded Israel with rocket fire on Tuesday, hitting Tel Aviv and the southern city of Beersheva.

The Israeli military confirmed hits in both places but there were no reported casualties. “A rocket hit an open area in the Tel Aviv metropolitan area,” a statement said.
