More than 100 rockets fired from militants in the Gaza Strip descended on the suburbs of Tel Aviv on Thursday, the Associated Press reports.
One rocket that landed in Rishon Lezion claimed no casualties but the AP reports that it was “by far the deepest target reached by Gaza militants so far”:
Although the rocket in Rishon Lezion, some 60 kilometers, or 40 miles north of Gaza, landed harmlessly in an open area, it illustrated the significant capabilities that Hamas militants have developed in recent years. Gaza militants had previously hit the city in 2009 fighting as well.
