Hamas's armed wing has struck Tel Aviv with rockets in retaliation for recent attacks by Israel on civilians in Gaza, as well as their forced displacement,

Hamas’s armed wing announced that it targeted the coastal Israeli city of Tel Aviv and its "environs" with two M-90 rockets, which have a range of 90km.

In a statement on its official Telegram channel, the Qassam Brigades stated that the attack was "in retaliation for the massacres and forced displacement perpetrated by Israel."

According to local news reports, explosions were heard in and around Tel Aviv but there were no reports of casualties.

Meanwhile, the death toll in Gaza has on Tuesday nearly reached 40,000 people, with over 92,000 inured, as Israel continues its devastating assault on the Palestinian enclave. 

The vast majority of the casualties are civilians, with thousands more bodies trapped under rubble, with Israel's airstrikes and shelling making it almost impossible for emergency services to reach them.

Overnight, Israeli forces struck a residential building in Khan Younis, resulting in the deaths of at least 10 people and injuring several others.
