Hamas Launches Rockets as Israel Delays Invasion, IDF Intercepts Syrian Rockets

Hamas launched a massive wave of rocket barrages into Israel, with observers calling it the largest since their October 7 assault. The barrage targeted Tel Aviv and other cities, resulting in injuries to at least five Israelis. Israel has responded with airstrikes, but plans for a ground invasion have been delayed. The US has urged Israel to postpone the invasion to allow for negotiations to secure the release of hostages taken by Hamas. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vows to "destroy" Hamas with the support of the US and other Western nations.
