According to the IDF, a rocket fired from the Gaza Strip landed in the sea off the coast of central Israel.

A second rocket failed to cross the border and fell short inside Gaza, the IDF says.

Hamas claimed to have fired two long-range rockets at Tel Aviv, in its first attack on the city in central Israel since late May.
