IDF & Palestinian Paramilitaries Exchange Fire, Warning Sirens Heard In Tel Aviv

ISRAEL

Red alert sirens sounded in Tel Aviv and central Israel after Palestinian paramilitary groups fired several volleys of rockets from the Gaza Strip while the Israeli Defence Forces continued their strikes on selected targets across the area.

  • The IDF said that it conducted a drone strike against Islamic Jihad members headed for a rocket launch site and has been carrying out attacks on the paramilitary group's "rocket launching infrastructure" in Gaza.
  • The IDF's spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said that the army will review restrictions on movement and gathering imposed on residents living up to 40km from Gaza amid escalating skirmishes.
  • The exchange of fire comes as a consequence of "Operation Shield and Arrow" launched by the IDF earlier this week, during which the Israeli armed forces assassinated several senior Islamic Jihad leaders.
