Hamas rocket barrage targets Tel Aviv; no damage reported

update May 26, 2024 11:07 AM
The armed wing of Hamas on Sunday, for the first time in months, launched a large rocket barrage targeting Israels commercial hub of Tel Aviv, a show of resilience from the Palestinian militants in the eighth month of the Israel-Hamas war.
Air raid sirens blared during the attack, but Israel said there were no immediate reports of casualties or damage. It was the first long-range rocket attack from Gaza since January, although rockets and mortar rounds have been fired at Israel from along the Gaza border since then. In the latest attack, rocket launches could be heard from central Gaza.

Earlier, humanitarian aid trucks had crossed into Gaza from southern Israel through a new agreement to bypass the Rafah crossing with Egypt after Israeli forces seized the Palestinian side of it earlier this month. But it was not clear if humanitarian groups would be able to access the aid because of ongoing fighting in the region.
Egypt has refused to reopen its side of the Rafah crossing until control of the Gaza side is handed back to the Palestinians. It agreed to temporarily divert traffic through Israel's Kerem Shalom crossing, Gaza's main cargo terminal, after a call between U.S. President Joe Biden and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi.
