Bat Yam

Police in Israel are responding to reports of a bus explosion in Bat Yam, south of Tel Aviv.

“The video from the camera in Bat Yam suggests that the rocket seen in the Al Jazeera video was not close enough to Al-Ahli Hospital to be responsible for the explosion that occurred at the hospital,” said Andrea Richardson, a lawyer and war crimes investigator who is a consultant with the Human Rights Center at the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law. 

The Bat Yam camera, in addition to capturing the launch in Israel, also showed the large barrage of rockets fired from within Gaza.

“All we have is bits and pieces of information,” said Neumann, who lives in Bat Yam, a city just south of Tel Aviv.

Among the thousands of rockets fired towards Israel on Saturday, some evaded the Iron Dome missile defence system, causing damage as far north as central Tel Aviv, Bat Yam and Jerusalem.
