Medics reported two women in Tel Aviv suffered shrapnel wounds
from the salvo, which followed a relative lull in rocket fire as
Israeli forces press a ground offensive in Gaza in the fifth
week of the war.
The military said some 9,500 missiles, rockets and drones were
fired at Israel from Gaza and other fronts since Oct. 7, and
2,000 of them had been shot down by air defences designed to
ignore projectiles on a course to land harmlessly in open areas.
Some 12% of Gaza rockets, which are mostly locally made, had
fallen short within Palestinian territory, the military said.
"With the entry of (Israeli) forces on the ground, there has a
significant drop-off in the number of launches," it said.
