Israeli military reports air raid sirens in south early Sunday
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said air raid sirens sounded in several places in southern Israel early on Sunday morning.
“At 3:46 a.m., sirens sounded in southern Israel,” the IDF wrote on social media, including an image highlighting 17 locations in all.
The military said rockets were again being fired at Israeli civilians.
The initial statement made no mention of damage or casualties; Israel’s so-called Iron Dome defense system is typically effective at intercepting such rockets and projectiles.
Late on Saturday in Tel Aviv, a protest led by relatives of Israeli hostages calling for the remaining hostages’ release was also interrupted by air attack sirens, with the demonstrators diving for cover.

Key developments on Saturday
Welcome to our rolling updates on the conflict between Israel and Hamas for Sunday, December 3.
Israel’s military said early on Saturday that it had struck 400 military targets in the roughly 24 hours since the truce had elapsed, including more than 50 in the south of the enclave.
It also said that Hamas or other Islamist Palestinian militants had fired more than 250 rockets at Israel since the cease-fire between the two sides collapsed on Friday. Hamas is recognized by Germany, the US, the EU and others as a terrorist organization.
The Hamas-run government in Gaza reported 240 deaths in Gaza since the truce broke.
Israel also said its negotiators had been recalled from Qatar on Saturday, as talks trying to revive the cease-fire failed.
US Vice President Kamala Harris and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin both made statements urging Israel to try to limit civilian casualties as it restarts military operations.
In Germany, protesters gathered on Saturday in Berlin calling for a cease-fire in Gaza.
