Ten rockets were fired from Gaza toward the Israeli cities of Ashkelon and Ashdod, with five intercepted by air defenses. One person in Ashkelon was injured by shrapnel, and minor injuries were reported during panic evacuations.
Hamas’ military wing, the Al Qassam Brigades, claimed responsibility, calling the attack a response to “Israel’s massacres against civilians” and alleged ceasefire violations in Gaza. Damage and impact were captured on amateur footage.
