Israel attacks Gaza in response to fire from Hamas hours after Tel Aviv City Hall lit up with the word ‘peace’
Israeli police inspect the damage at the site hit by a rocket fired by Palestinian militants from the Gaza Strip in the southern city of Ashdod

THE Israeli military struck Gaza early today in response to a rocket fired by Hamas the previous night, as Israel lit up Tel Aviv City Hall with the word “peace.”

The Israeli military said that in response it struck about 10 targets it alleged included a weapons and explosives manufacturing factory, underground infrastructure and a military training compound.
