Air-raid sirens sound off in Tel Aviv following Hamas' rocket attack from Gaza

The Israeli military struck a Hamas compound in Rafah located near a refugee camp on Sunday that took out several Hamas terrorists after the group used its last remaining stronghold in Gaza to fire a massive rocket barrage for the first time in months.

Israel said it launched a counterattack “against legitimate targets under international law, through the use of precise munitions and on the basis of precise intelligence that indicated Hamas’ use of the area.”

Despite the reassurance, the Israeli military acknowledged reports from Palestinian media alleging that dozens of civilians were killed by the blasts that hit near a refugee camp.

The counter-attack comes just hours after air-raid sirens sounded in Tel Aviv for the first time in four months on Sunday following Hamas’ attack from Rafah.

The show of force — Hamas claimed it fired more than 100 missiles — demonstrates the terror group’s resilience as the war approaches its eighth month.

Israeli officials said it proves the military needs to finish the job and invade the southern Gaza city, despite the objections of the Biden Administration and an order not to go in from the International Criminal Court.
