Hamas fires rockets at Tel Aviv for first time since Jan. 1
Hamas fires rockets at Tel Aviv for first time since Jan. 1
There were no immediate reports of casualties.
You're viewing a single thread.
The article suggests that the IDF suppressed Hamas' capabilities, but if you look at the timeline Hamas rocket firings basically ceased when SA filed with the ICJ (except for new years, for obvious reasons). Following the ICJ ruling (and Israel's blatant disregard of it), Hamas has decided to continue firing rockets.
Having a hard time blamimg them seeing terrorist actions by Israel. Terrorists get terrorism, nothing new under the sun.
This article is only about the location Tel Aviv.
It's further away, so more effort to build rockets and harder to hit. Hamas never stopped firing rockets on Israel. On the 7 October 2023 terror attack alone, reports range from 3000 to 5000 projectiles or rockets within 24 hours and in the following conflict, they kept firing missiles on Israel.

I don't understand the point of circling all the way back to October when people are talking about the month of January...
The point is that Hamas doesn't stop firing rockets. I'm not there, so I don't know if they fire on southern Israel every single day, but twice a week everyone can read about rockets fired at Israel and sirens going off. It seems just Tel Aviv wasn't targeted for a few weeks (this article). In the link below Ashkelon is mentioned as well with a short break of 2 weeks. But as I said before, the further north, the longer the range they need to build and with the claims they are running short on weapon supplies, this makes sense that further targets get hit less often.
e.g. just a few days ago:
"Hamas welcomes UN court ruling as it fires rockets on Israel (January 26, 2024; The Telepgraph)"
"Hamas appears to have targeted the south of Israel, where attacks have become increasingly rare amid claims the group is running out of missiles. Rockets were sighted over the city of Ashkelon for the first time in two weeks."
