JERUSALEM
A rocket fired from the Gaza Strip has been intercepted over Tel Aviv, Israel's Channel 2 reported on Monday.
The Israeli army earlier on Twitter that rocket sirens wailed in Tel Aviv. It gave no further details.
Channel 2 said that the rocket was intercepted by the Iron Dome anti-missile defense system.
Rocket sirens went off also in Herzliya and Rishon LeZion, the broadcaster noted, without saying whether any rockets fell in the two cities or not.
The Israeli army said earlier that Palestinian factions had fired 150 rockets at Israel since Sunday.
Israel resumed airstrikes in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday following the collapse of indirect, Egypt-hosted talks aimed at hammering out a durable ceasefire deal.
While Israel accused Hamas of breaking a temporary ceasefire with a rocket barrage, the Palestinian faction accused the self-proclaimed Jewish state of attempting to derail the truce talks in Cairo.
At least 2123 Palestinians have been killed and more than 10,800 others injured in relentless Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip since July 7.
Over the same period, at least 68 Israelis – 64 soldiers and four civilians – have been killed, according to Israeli figures.
The Palestinian death toll from the Israeli offensive alone has surpassed the combined total fatalities from two past major operations - including 2008/9's operation "Cast Lead" which killed at least 1500 Palestinians in three weeks.
