Hamas launched a rocket attack on Israel's Tel Aviv. Explosions were also heard in Tel Aviv following the attack. This attack was carried out with two 'M90' rockets by the Palestinian independence armed group.
Indian media NDTV reported this information in a report on Tuesday (August 13).
Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, said on Tuesday that it fired two M90 rockets at the Israeli city of Tel Aviv and its suburbs.
Later, the Israeli Air Force said, "Some time ago, a rocket was detected that crossed the Gaza Strip and fell into the sea in the center of the country." No warning was issued in this incident. At the same time, another rocket was also detected, but it did not enter Israel.
Meanwhile, Israeli media reported that explosions were heard in Tel Aviv due to the rocket attack, but no casualties were reported.
Meanwhile, doctors said that 19 Palestinians were killed in the central and southern Gaza Strip by Israeli airstrikes on Tuesday. The United States said Thursday's scheduled peace talks would go ahead as planned and it hoped a cease-fire agreement was still possible.
US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken plans to travel to Qatar, Egypt and Israel on Tuesday for talks, Axios reported. But the BBC says Antony Blinken has postponed his planned trip to the Middle East on Tuesday to take part in talks on ending the Gaza war.
The Israeli government, however, had previously said it would send a delegation to Thursday's talks. However, instead of further negotiations, Hamas has requested an effective plan to implement the already agreed resolutions.
