JERUSALEM - Dozens of rockets were fired from Gaza towards central and southern Israel on Saturday night, as violence between Hamas and Israel showed no signs of stopping.

The rockets were targeted at Israel's financial capital Tel Aviv, Ben Gurion Airport, and other major cities throughout central and southern Israel, police said in a statement.

There were no immediate reports of casualties.

Earlier on Saturday, Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip, warned it will soon fire rockets to "avenge" Israel's devastating strike on a high-rise building in Gaza City housing offices of Al-Jazeera TV and Associated Press.

Since Monday, Israel has pounded Gaza with hundreds of air strikes and shells, killing at least 145 people, including 41 children and 23 women. Meanwhile, rockets fired by militant groups in Gaza have killed 10 people, including a 5-year-old boy, a soldier, and two women.
