Incoming rocket sirens are sounding in Tel Aviv and other cities in central Israel, for the first time since Tuesday.

Several Iron Dome interceptor missiles are seen over the area.

There are no immediate reports of damage in the attack.

Hamas is believed to be stockpiling rockets for a long war, but also has difficulty in carrying out attacks amid the IDF’s ground operation.

Five people were injured while running to shelters — four lightly and one moderately, according to the Magen David Adom emergency service.
