Breaking News: A rocket has been launched by Hamas towards the Tel Aviv area in Israel, marking the first attack in months. According to reports, Al-Qassam has fired a large missile salvo from the Gaza strip, specifically from the Rafah area, targeting the Israeli city.
The Israeli Defence Forces have confirmed the launch, stating that eight missiles were detected crossing into the territory from Rafah. Thankfully, their air defense was able to intercept some of the launches, but it's still unclear how many rockets have reached Tel Aviv. Witnesses have reported hearing explosions in the city.
This is the first time since January 29 that an air siren has been sounded in Tel Aviv, as mentioned by journalist Zachary Anders. Shortly after the attack, Israel responded with an airstrike targeting the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza, which has resulted in the death of three individuals.
Photos circulating on social media appear to show rocket shrapnel in Tel Aviv, and some even captured the moment when rockets were being intercepted over the city. This barrage of rockets is a reminder of the ongoing conflict near Rafah, where thousands of Gazans have been forced to flee their homes due to the continuous bombing in the last six months.
According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, within the last 24 hours, 81 people have been killed and 223 injured in Gaza. The situation is dire, and civilians are constantly in danger. Video footage captured Israelis running for cover as the alarms sounded, emphasizing the fear and chaos caused by these attacks.
In light of these events, the UK foreign secretary has expressed concern, stating that it would be wrong for Israel to launch an offensive in Rafah without proper plans to protect innocent people. David Cameron, on Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips on Sky News, made it clear that the UK will not support any offensive actions carried out in such a manner.
As we await further updates, it is a reminder of the devastating consequences of war and the importance of protecting innocent lives. Our thoughts are with all those affected by this ongoing conflict.
