Ten rockets were launched on Sunday evening from the Gaza Strip, setting off sirens in Ashkelon, Ashdod, and the surrounding areas.
Hamas claimed responsibility for the launches, which emanated from Deir al-Balah, an area in the central Gaza Strip where the IDF has yet to operate.
The IDF stated: "Following the sirens that sounded at 21:01-21:02 in the Lakhish area, approximately ten projectiles were identified crossing into Israeli territory from the Gaza Strip. Most of them were successfully intercepted. The details are under review."
The IDF later added, "Approximately five projectiles were successfully intercepted by the IAF. Falls were identified in several areas. IDF Home Front Command soldiers are dispatched to the scenes and are operating in cooperation with Israeli security forces."
Missile shrapnel landed in Ashkelon, damaging several vehicles. Security forces were deployed to the scenes.
The Police stated: "The police are currently tending to fallen shrapnel at a scene in the Ashkelon area, without injuries at the moment. Police sappers from the Southern District and officers from the Ashkelon police station are searching for additional remnants to remove threats to the public."
The Ashkelon Municipality stated: "One rocket fell in the city limits - damage was caused to property. One individual was apparently lightly wounded."
Magen David Adom reported that its teams tended to several individuals who suffered from shock and three individuals who were lightly wounded and evacuated to Assuta Hospital.
