Palestinians launch more heavy rocket barrages at Tel Aviv, south Israel

Palestinian armed groups launched heavy rocket barrages towards Israel for the second time within hours, triggering sirens in central and south Israel.

The Israeli military said on Twitter the Tel Aviv area was being struck with a barrage of rockets, while similar attacks were reported in Sderot, Netivot and Ashkelon. 

There are no immediate reports of injuries or damage.

At least 800 rockets have been fired from Gaza towards Israel since Wednesday, with only 179 being intercepted, according to the Israeli military. Earlier on Thursday, rockets killed one Israeli, wounded seven others and damaged several buildings across Israel.
