The Palestinian Islamic Jihad claims responsibility for rockets launched at the Jerusalem area and other cities a short while ago.
The Gaza-based terror group says it launched two main barrages, aimed at Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and other cities. Sirens did not sound in or near Tel Aviv.
Islamic Jihad says the attack comes in response to the “assassinations and the continuation of aggression against the Palestinian people.”
