GAZA CITY, Palestine (AA) - Palestinian factions in the Gaza Strip fired an intense barrage of rockets early Saturday toward Israel.

The rocket salvoes were fired from different locations in the enclave but Israel’s Iron Dome defense system intercepted many, according to an Anadolu correspondent.

Sirens sounded in central Israel and Tel Aviv, the Israeli army said in a statement.

Sirens sounded also in Tel Aviv, Rehovot, Rishon Lezion and the Palmachim Airbase, according to media outlets, including the Walla news website.

Schools were suspended in the Gaza Strip until further notice, according to the Palestinian Education Ministry in Gaza.
