The Zionist entity’s capital, Tel Aviv was hit on Thursday by at least two rockets launched from Gaza strip.The Iranian-made rockets, Fajr 5, were launched from the besieged enclave at Thursday night.
The Islamic Jihad’s military branch, al-Quds brigades, claimed responsibility for the rockets fired on Tel Aviv, vowing that the “coming is worse”.
In addition to the rockets that hit Tel Aviv, other qualitative achievements took place with hundreds of Israeli settlers entered shelters, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who was transferred from the Israeli capital to a “safe place”, according to media reports.
Meanwhile, AFP news agency said that a rocket launched from Gaza strip landed in the water just south of Tel Aviv.
The rocket, which was also claimed by al-Quds brigades, was the farthest that a rocket from Gaza had ever hit inside the occupied territories and came as the air force pressed a major bombing campaign across Gaza.
"A rocket crashed into the water just outside of Jaffa," AFP correspondent said, as police confirmed that warning sirens had gone off across Tel Aviv.
"I was standing outside the French ambassador's residence when I saw the rocket falling into the sea," he said.
"There was about a minute between the sirens going off, warning residents to enter the shelters and the rocket landing. People in the street started running in all directions because they didn't know where to shelter," he said.
Israeli news networks said it was the first time rockets had been fired at the city since the 1991 Gulf War, when it was hit by Iraqi Scud missiles.
