Jerusalem: Three loud explosions rocked Jerusalem shortly after air raid sirens wailed across the city on Tuesday night, AFP correspondents said.
The sirens sounded at about 1900 GMT, with at least four bright flashes lighting the sky southwest of the city, a correspondent said.
The attack was claimed by the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, which said it had fired four M75 rockets at Jerusalem.
Witnesses reported hearing a loud explosion in Ramat Raziel, southwest of the city, although there was no immediate confirmation from police or the army.
The rocket fire occurred as Israel began a waging major campaign against Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip.
