Hamas on Tuesday fired two rockets from Gaza at Tel Aviv, in the first such attack since May.

One rocket landed in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of central Israel, and the other fell short inside the Strip, according to the IDF.

The rockets were reportedly of the M-90 variety, with a range of 56.5 miles.

No sirens were activated as the projectiles were not on course to hit populated areas.

On May 26, the Iron Dome aerial-defense system intercepted several Hamas projectiles headed for the center, with blasts reported across Tel Aviv, Petach Tikvah, Herzliya and Ramat Hasharon.

The rocket fire reached as far north as the Sharon region, forcing Kfar Saba residents into shelters for the first time since Hamas’s Oct. 7 massacre of 1,200 people.

Prior to that, the Palestinian terror group had last launched rockets towards the Tel Aviv area on Jan. 1, sending millions racing for shelter.

“Let the message to the IRGC be clear: If you shoot at two of our ships, we will impose an even higher economic cost—taking out three of yours.”
Crowds thronged the plaza at Judaism’s second-holiest site, with the event broadcast on giant screens along the Old City walls.
“Voters in this district now finally have a choice of a true defender of Israel with a record of results, who’s not beholden to party leadership that is increasingly out of whack with what most of us feel,” said Scott Singer, mayor of Boca Raton.
Israel’s national security minister said his party aims to facilitate the voluntary relocation of about 1.86 million Gazans within seven years.
