Israeli media also reported that due to the salvoes of rockets fired from Gaza and the subsequent sounding of sirens all over "Tel Aviv", beachgoers acted hysterically and ended up flocking away from the shore.
Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), announced that they were bombing the Israeli settlements of "Tel Aviv", "Ashdod", "Askalan", and "Sderot" with heavy salvoes of missiles.

"Tel Aviv" and the settlements in its vicinity are being bombed with heavy salvoes of rockets, Israeli public broadcaster KAN reported.
The Palestinian resistance on Friday started responding to the Israeli occupation's aggression on the Gaza Strip by launching salvoes of rockets toward the occupied Palestinian territories.
The launching of rockets toward the Israeli occupation come in retaliation after Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that explosions were heard in the Gaza Strip, occupied Palestine. The shelling targeted the Palestine Tower in the center of Gaza city.
The Israeli aggression left several martyrs, including a 5-year-old girl, and at least 125 critically wounded, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported, citing Palestinian medical sources.
Al-Quds Brigades, PIJ's military wing, announced the martyrdom of Taiseer Al-Jaabari, a military commander in the northern Gaza Strip.
Shortly thereafter, all of the Palestinian resistance factions issued statements condemning the Israeli occupation's aggression and its assassination of resistance figures and leaders, as well as solidifying the resistance's unity against the Israeli aggressors.
The head of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad's media office, Daoud Shehab, confirmed Saturday that there was no talk about any de-escalation for now, with no ceasefire on the horizon.
