Hamas fires barrage of rockets into central Israel for the first time in months

Hamas claimed Sunday it fired a barrage of rockets from Gaza toward central Israel as rocket sirens rang for the first time in cities like Tel Aviv.

Hamas' military wing claimed the attack and rocket launches could be heard in central Gaza, The Associated Press reported.

In a statement on its Telegram channel on Sunday, al-Qassam Brigades said the rockets were launched in response to what it called "Zionist massacres against civilians," Reuters reported.
