Palestinian Militants Fire Two Rockets at Tel Aviv

by VOA News

   Two rockets were fired toward Tel Aviv from Gaza on Thursday, the
   Israeli army says, setting off air raid sirens across much of central
   Israel.

   The army said Israel's Iron Dome missile defense system intercepted one
   of the rockets while the other one likely fell on open ground.

   No damage or injuries are reported, and it is unclear which Palestinian
   militant group is responsible.

   Tension between Israel and the Palestinians in Gaza have increased in
   recent weeks.

   A Palestinian rocket was fired into Israel last Saturday. Israel
   retaliated with airstrikes on Hamas targets.
