Palestinian militants have attempted to hit Israel’s largest city, Tel Aviv, with missiles fired from the Gaza Strip.
An Israeli military spokesman said two missiles had been launched toward the Tel Aviv area but neither had hit it.
Three Israelis were killed by rockets from Gaza earlier, while 15 Palestinians have been killed in two days of Israeli attacks on Gaza.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Palestinian Islamist group Hamas have also opened a new front in the propaganda war, via Twitter.

We recommend that no Hamas operatives, whether low level or senior leaders, show their faces above ground in the days ahead.
