Sirens in Tel Aviv as Long Range Rockets Fired from Gaza

Settlers in Tel Aviv heard air raid sirens for a second time in the ongoing crisis after Hamas reportedly fired a long-range rocket at the Zionist entity’s second-largest city and capital.

Witnesses said a loud explosion was heard in Tel Aviv after the siren went off.

According to media reports, three rockets fell on the Jerusalem area, one of them on Jabal al-Khalil, a mountain range near the city of Hebron, 20 km outside of Jerusalem.

The Zionist army spokesperson Avital Leibovich confirmed a rocket was fired from Gaza and struck outside Jerusalem. There have been no casualties.

Qassam Brigades claimed they used M75 homemade missile to attack Tel Aviv.

All public shelters in Tel Aviv are now being unlocked and made available.

Tel Aviv is targeted by a Palestinian Resistance attack for a second day in a row, as the conflict escalates. On Thursday evening the air raid alert was sounded and a rocket landed in the sea in front of Jaffa Beach, south of the city.

The alert was the first in Tel Aviv since the 1991 Gulf War. The enemy entity’s second-largest city is located far enough from Gaza not to be targeted by the smaller-range missiles and mortar shells, which Palestinian militants generally fire across the border.

In newspaper remarks, Dichter said that "Israel has not lived in this state of terror since the establishment of the state." According to the "Yedioth Aharonot" daily, Dichter has called the settlers on taking the utmost care to avoid rocket fragments fired by the Palestinian resistance. The Palestinian resistance has pounded Zionist cities including Tel-Aviv with tens of ‘Fajr’, Grad and 107 rockets. News websites quoted Palestinian witnesses as saying that "Israelis were hysterically shot by terror and fear, and many of them began to cry when they heard the sirens, which started in the city, followed by the sound of explosions in nearby from their place of work." A large force of Zionist civil defense and ambulances forced everyone to go down to the shelters amid a state of extreme confusion and horror, the witness added. Media reports stated that state of maximum alert was declared Friday in the Zionist hospitals. This news coincided with what the "Haaretz" daily reported on damaged mobile phone network in a number of areas in "Tel Aviv", which interrupted communications, after a rocket hit facilities of cellular phones. Moreover, Dichter recognized the weakness to intercept rockets of the Palestinian resistance hitting the Zionist settlements coming from the Gaza Strip, confirming the failure of the missile defense system "Iron Dome ". In a statement to the radio of the Zionist occupation army on Sunday, Dichter said that there is not a magic solution to stop launching rockets from the Gaza Strip, excluding the operations carried out by the occupying army, adding: "Any deal involving the termination of the launching of rockets from the Gaza Strip will endure long time and may extend to several years.” It should be noted that the Palestinian resistance in the Gaza Strip has intensified, attacks and launched rockets in retaliation for assassination operations carried out by the occupying forces during the recent military escalation continues in the Strip under siege.
