Air-raid sirens sounded across Tel Aviv and Israel’s central region on Sunday afternoon, warning of incoming Hamas rocket fire from the Gaza Strip for the first time in four months.
The Israel Defence Forces’ Iron Dome aerial-defence system intercepted at least eight projectiles, with booms reported across Tel Aviv, Petach Tikvah, Herzliya and Ramat Hasharon.
Sunday’s rocket fire reached as far north as the Sharon region, sending residents in the city of Kfar Saba running for shelter for the first time since the war started on October 7, Israel Hayom reported.
At least one Israeli civilian was lightly wounded when rocket shrapnel fell in Herzliya, the Magen David Adom emergency response group said.
