A barrage of 10 rockets was fired by Hamas from the Gaza Strip at the Ashdod area in southern Israel a short while ago, the military says.

According to the IDF, most of the rockets were intercepted by air defenses.

At least one rocket impact is reported in Ashkelon, with damage caused to a road and several parked cars. There are no immediate reports of injuries.

The attack marks the largest rocket barrage on Israel from Gaza in recent months.
