The group, based in the Gaza Strip, said it had fired a Fajr 5 rocket. “We have widened the range of the battle to reach Tel Aviv and what is coming will be greater,” it said in a statement.
Minutes earlier, sirens sounded in Tel Aviv and Israel’s Army Radio reported a missile strike.
Israel’s chief military spokesman said no rocket had struck the city. A security source said it fell into the Mediterranean.
A strike on Tel Aviv would be the first time Gaza rocket squads have reached the city and that would mark a significant escalation.
Rabbi Dov Beck of the Neturei Karta in a meeting with Ahminejad expressed the wish that the “almighty” should help him and make his work successful.
Yes, giving back Gaza was such a good idea…what a price to pay for “peace”.
