Recent reports indicate that Hamas launched a barrage of rockets towards Tel Aviv on Thursday, marking the first attack of this scale in months. The group’s armed wing, the Qassam Brigades, claimed responsibility for the attack, stating it was in response to alleged Israeli massacres against civilians. Despite alert sirens sounding in several districts, only two projectiles landed in an open field, with one being intercepted by anti-air defense measures.
Prior to the ceasefire, Hamas typically targeted southern Israel with rocket attacks. However, Thursday’s attack on central Israel was the first of its kind since October 7, 2024. This incident caused panic among residents of Tel Aviv, prompting many to seek shelter in bomb shelters and basements. The Israeli military (IDF) issued a warning to Gazans, accusing terror organizations of launching rockets from civilian areas.
Meanwhile, Gaza health officials reported that over 700 Palestinians were killed in renewed Israeli airstrikes over the past two days. The region is once again facing conflict on multiple fronts, as the Houthis launched a ballistic missile attack on central Israel. The group claimed to have targeted Ben Gurion Airport and the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier in separate attacks.
As tensions escalate in the region, President Trump declared his full support for Israel and the IDF’s recent actions. The planned second phase of the ceasefire, which aimed to secure the release of all hostages and establish a lasting peace, appears to be in jeopardy.
