Loud blasts reported across central Israel a short while ago were the result of military activity in the Gaza Strip, according to the IDF.

The booms are reported as far away as the Tel Aviv area, some 60 kilometers (38 miles) away.

Amid the ongoing ceasefire, the IDF has been demolishing Hamas tunnels and sites in areas of the Strip under Israeli military control.
