A bipartisan delegation of US senators, including Chuck Schumer, Mitt Romney, and Bill Cassidy, were forced to seek shelter in Tel Aviv after a barrage of rockets were fired by terrorists from Gaza. The senators used the situation to highlight the challenges faced by Israelis and called for increased support for Israel. This incident underscores the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, with rockets targeting both Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. The rocket attack briefly interrupted a session at the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, prompting lawmakers to evacuate to bomb shelters. The retaliation missile barrage by Hamas was in response to Israeli strikes on civilian targets.
