The attack signalled that Hamas could still fire long-range rockets despite devastating Israeli military offensive.

CAIRO/JERUSALEM – Hamas armed wing al-Qassam Brigades said it launched a “big missile” attack on Tel Aviv on May 26 as the Israeli military sounded sirens in the central city warning of possible incoming rockets.

In a statement on its Telegram channel on May 26, al-Qassam Brigades said the rockets were launched in response to what it called “Zionist massacres against civilians”. Hamas Al-Aqsa TV said the rockets were launched from the Gaza Strip, with an AFP correspondent reporting that rockets were seen being fired from Rafah.

Israel’s army said at least eight rockets were fired towards central areas of the country from Gaza’s far-southern city of Rafah, where its forces have been battling Palestinian militants.Rocket sirens had not been heard in Tel Aviv for the past four months. The reason for the sirens was not immediately stated by the Israeli military.
