| [JPost] "Smite us now" Two rockets launched from the Hamas-run Gaza Strip fell in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of central Israel early on Saturday morning. "Earlier this morning, two rocket launches were identified from the Gaza Strip toward the Mediterranean. The rockets fell off the coast of the Tel Aviv Metropolitan Area. According to protocol, no sirens were sounded and no interception took place," the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit said in a statement. The rockets were the first to be launched in the New Year and were heard in the cities of Tel Aviv, Holon, Bat Yam and Rishon Lezion. According to reports, one rocket fell near Tel Aviv while the other landed near Palmachim, south of the city. There were no injuries and, despite the smoke seen off the coast, no reports of damage. Army Radio reported that Egypt has sent a message to Israel that the rocket fire was not intentional and IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Aviv Kohavi held situational assessments regarding the rocket fire. |
