Israel deploys Iron Dome fearing rocket fire

Israel has deployed its Iron Dome missile defence system in the central part of the country, for fears that rocket fire from the Gaza Strip could reach as far as Tel Aviv.

Ziad al-Nakhalah, head of the Islamic Jihad, said there are no limits in this round of fighting and that Tel Aviv will be targeted.

"There are no red lines in this battle and Tel Aviv will fall under the rockets of resistance, as well as all Israeli cities," he said.
