Hamas fired two long-range M90 rockets from Gaza towards Tel Aviv, with one landing in the sea off the coast of central Israel and the other failing to cross the border. The attack was claimed by Hamas' military wing, the al-Qassam Brigades, as a response to recent Israeli airstrikes that killed 19 Palestinians in Gaza, including civilians. No casualties were reported in Tel Aviv as the rockets did not hit populated areas. The Israeli military confirmed the rocket launches and subsequent airstrikes targeting Hamas positions in Gaza. Meanwhile, U.S.-backed ceasefire talks are expected to proceed, with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken set to engage in discussions in the region, despite Hamas' insistence on implementing an existing proposal rather than further negotiations.
