Islamic Jihad companies in Gaza fired two rockets at Tel Aviv.
The heavy rockets fell a few kilometers west of the shores of Tel Aviv, so no red alarm was sounded.
According to one of the reports from Gaza, the launches were a warning to Israel regarding the prisoner Hisham al-Wahash, who is hospitalized in Assaf Harofeh, that if he dies, the organization will launch a large number of rockets at the center.
Another report claimed that a bolt of laighting hit the missile command box which shot the missiles. This excuse has been used many times in the past.
