Hamas’ armed al-Qassam Brigades attacked Israel’s Tel Aviv city with “M90” rockets on Tuesday, August 13.
The information was confirmed by the Israeli Air Force in a statement that read, “A short time ago, one launch was detected that crossed the territory of the Gaza Strip and fell into the maritime space in the center of the country. No policy alerts were triggered. At the same time, another launch was detected that did not cross into Israel.”
Two explosions were heard in Tel Aviv. However, there are no casualties reported so far.
The attack comes ahead of peace talks slated to be held on August 15 and that a ceasefire was still on the cards.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is expected to fly off on Tuesday to hold discussions in Qatar, Egypt and Israel.
It should be noted that Hamas has been adamant that the truce talk is focussed on a deal discussed with Israel and mediators.
Meanwhile, on Tuesday, the Israeli airstrikes killed 19 Palestinians in central and southern Gaza strip.
