Air Raid Sirens Heard in Tel Aviv

Air raid sirens have been heard in Tel Aviv and across central Israel this morning during a heavy rocket barrage fired from the Gaza strip.

It comes after Palestinian officials said at least 16 people have been killed, after Israel launched airstrikes in retaliation for a number of other rocket attacks.

The Israeli military says it's prevented an attempt by Palestinian militants to infiltrate southern Israel by sea - and has called up more reserve troops.

The current tensions started with the killing of four boys - three Israelis and one Palestinian in seperate attacks.
