Over the weekend, the Palestinian militant group Hamas launched a rocket attack on Tel Aviv, marking their first such attack on the Israeli city in almost four months. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed the incident, intercepting several of the eight missiles fired. Despite the attack, minimal damage was reported in the Tel Aviv area, with no immediate injuries.
The rockets were launched from the Rafah area of Gaza, near the border with Egypt, where the IDF has been conducting a military operation against Hamas. The Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’ military wing, claimed responsibility for the attack as a response to Israeli actions in Gaza.
The ongoing conflict has drawn international condemnation, with the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ordering Israel to halt its offensive in Rafah. The ICJ expressed concerns about the risk to civilians in the region. The conflict between Israel and Hamas has resulted in casualties on both sides, with the IDF conducting operations to dismantle the militant group.
Despite the challenges, the situation in the region remains tense, with both sides facing ongoing conflict and international scrutiny.
