GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Rockets fired from Gaza reached an Israeli city near Tel Aviv on Thursday afternoon for the first time as cross-border violence continued for a second day.
Israel's army said a projectile hit an open area near Rishon Lezion, a city 12 km south of Tel Aviv. The Israeli daily Haaretz said two rockets had landed, but no casualties were reported.
Israeli media reports said the rocket came down near an amusement park in sand dunes on the edge of the city.
Hamas' armed wing the al-Qassam Brigades said it had fired two rockets in the vicinity of Tel Aviv. Israel's military said 245 rockets were fired at Israel since Wednesday.
Resistance fighters from different factions continued to claim responsibility for rockets fire at military sites and across the border Thursday as the death toll in Gaza reached 15.
