An Israeli man was seriously wounded after Palestinian terror groups launched a barrage of rockets from the Gaza Strip at the Tel Aviv area on Tuesday evening, medical officials said.

The Magen David Adom emergency response organization reported that its medics evacuated a 20-year-old man with serious shrapnel wounds to Wolfson Medical Center in Holon.

In addition, a 43-year-old woman sustained minor injuries, Magen David Adom said.

Israel has seen a decrease in Red Alert sirens warning of incoming rockets, drones and terrorist infiltrations since the IDF launched “Operation Swords of Iron” on Oct. 7, IDF Home Front Command data shows.

On Monday, IDF airstrikes killed six senior Hamas commanders, the military said, adding that it was mainly targeting terror operatives in northern Gaza, where Israel is conducting a ground offensive.

According to the IDF, many Hamas terrorists are now unable to carry out large-scale attacks due to their commanders having been killed in Israeli operations.

“Hamas has suffered significant damage to its command structures, combat capabilities and intelligence resources,” the IDF said Monday.

The incident will “undoubtedly add to the concerns” of the large Jewish community of Hendon, said MP David Pinto-Duschinsky.
Ambassador Yechiel Leiter expressed the hope that talks with Lebanon will help defeat the terrorist group.
IDF troops later raided his residence near Hebron and found an improvised weapon and military equipment.
Three other members of the UNIFIL peacekeeping force were injured in the attack.
Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei says Iran’s navy is ready to inflict “new bitter defeats” on its enemies.
The Israeli Air Force struck Iran with about 19,000 munitions. According to IDF Military Intelligence, the Iranians have already begun preparing for the next campaign against the Jewish state.
