Morning update: Residents of Tel Aviv scrambled for shelter as sirens blared, signifying an imminent rocket threat. Simultaneously, Hamas claimed responsibility for launching a relentless barrage of rockets, targeting both Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.

This incident is part of the growing unrest between Israel and Hamas. Earlier in the day, the BBC analyzed footage suggesting an airstrike at the Rafah crossing on the Egyptian side of the border. This location had been earmarked for a possible ceasefire and the evacuation of foreign nationals from Gaza.
