Air-raid sirens sounded in Jerusalem, and Tel Aviv opened bomb shelters as Gaza terrorists launched rocket attacks at central Israel Tuesday night.
In the largest barrage from Gaza yet, more than 40 rockets have been fired into Israel in the attack, the Jerusalem Post reported.
The Gaza-based Hamas jihadist group, which governs the territory, has declared that all Israelis are now targets for attacks.
No significant injuries have been reported, the Post said, as the Israel Defense Forces’ Iron Dome rocket defense system has intercepted a number of rockets.
The paper said two loud thuds were heard by residents in downtown Jerusalem shortly after a rocket siren went off in the capital at about 10 p.m., sending thousands of city residents to bomb shelters.
Air raid sirens were also activated in the cities of Rishon Lezion, Bat Yam, Holon and Bnei Barak.
In its ongoing Operation Protective Edge operation, the Israel Air Force struck 50 targets in Gaza in the past two hours.
