A Tuesday afternoon barrage from the Gaza Strip was reportedly the largest in number aimed at Tel Aviv since the start of Operation Swords of Iron.

Five Israelis were wounded in a massive barrage of rockets fired by Hamas from the Gaza Strip on Tuesday afternoon, Magen David Adom confirmed.

The rocket barrage, which caused sirens to sound across the entire central Israel region, sent over a million Israelis to the shelters. Five Israelis were wounded in separate incidents in Holon, Tel Aviv, Kfar Saba, Be'er Yaakov, and Yavne.

Two of the wounded were hit by rocket shrapnel, suffering respective arm and head injuries, while three others were wounded while seeking shelter.

MDA said it was looking into reports of rocket falls in the aftermath of the Hamas barrage, reportedly the largest in number aimed at Tel Aviv since the start of Operation Swords of Iron.
