Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip launched a barrage of rockets at central Israel on Tuesday afternoon, setting off sirens in Tel Aviv, Bat Yam, Jaffa, Rishon LeTsiyon, Ramat Gan and other cities and towns across the Gush Dan and Shfela regions.

It was the first rocket-fire on the area in over a week. There were no initial reports of injuries or damage.

Terrorists have launched more than 12,500 rockets at Israel since Hamas declared war on Israel on Oct. 7, including more than 2,000 that fell short and landed in Gaza, according to the IDF.

Enemy aircraft infiltration alerts were also heard in communities in the Upper Galilee on Tuesday afternoon. Israel’s Home Front Command later issued an all-clear.

The U.S. envoy also said antisemitism “didn’t exist” during his upbringing and warned of an unintended clash between Israel and Turkey.
Voting will continue until polling stations close on Election Day, Oct. 27, subject to operational requirements.
The U.S. secretary of state listed conflicts across the Middle East, which he maintained are instigated directly by Tehran or its proxies.
“The State of Israel, for us as Orthodox Jews, is the beginning of the flowering of the redemption of our people,” Rabbi Elie Buechler told JNS. “If that’s not their perspective, that’s OK too.”
