Hamas’ armed wing claims to have shelled “the occupied city of Tel Aviv”. If true, this will have been the first Hamas missile to hit Israel’s largest city. Israel has denied the claim, slamming it as propaganda.
As soon as the first reports appeared on popular microblogging site Twitter, Tel Aviv began trending worldwide.
The the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades tweeted the claim, but so far, no confirmation is available.
Meanwhile, Israeli Defense Forces spokesperson Avital Leibovich took to her Twitter account to slam the claim as propaganda. She said “Clarification: no rockets were fired toTel Aviv. The rumors are part of Hamas propaganda.”
