Explosions heard in Tel Aviv linked to intense Gaza bombardment 64km away
Israeli air strikes on Gaza on Thursday night could be heard more than 64km away in southern and central Israel.
In a statement, the Israeli army linked the explosions to military activity in northern Gaza but did not specify the nature or exact target of the strikes.
The army assured Israelis that there were no security incidents affecting them.
Israel's extensive campaign on the Gaza Strip since October 2023 - denounced as genocidal by Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and UN experts - has killed over 45,400 Palestinians, the majority of them women and children.
The Geneva-based Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor estimated that Israel dropped approximately 63,500 tonnes of bombs on Gaza between 7 October and 24 April 2024, surpassing the total bombs dropped on Dresden, Hamburg and London combined during World War Two.
