Palestinian militants continue rocket fire Saturday night

The militant Palestinian Hamas organisation fired more rockets at Israel late Saturday, according to the Israeli military.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) disclosed this in a tweet.

“After threatening to fire rockets at Tel Aviv, Hamas has fired a heavy barrage of rockets from Gaza into central & southern Israel,” the IDF tweeted.

Hamas had announced earlier that it would fire rockets at Tel Aviv from midnight [2100 GMT].

Earlier Saturday, Palestinian militants had already fired rockets three times in quick succession at the greater Tel Aviv area.

In Tel Aviv’s neighbouring city of Ramat Gan, a man died when a rocket hit him.

Israel’s air force subsequently destroyed a 14-storey tower block in the Gaza Strip where media companies such as the Associated Press had their offices. (dpa/NAN)
