The Hamas rocket barrage on central Israel a short while ago has wounded at least nine civilians, medics say.
The Magen David Adom ambulance service said in Rishon Lezion, medics treated two men aged 28 who were seriously hurt.
In Yavne, a 73-year-old woman was seriously hurt and a 77-year-old man was lightly hurt, MDA says.
In Bat Yam, a 24-year-old man was moderately hurt, MDA says.
In Tel Aviv, four people were wounded, including one in moderate condition, MDA adds.
The victims are being taken to hospitals in the area.
Hamas claimed to have launched 150 rockets from the Gaza Strip at Tel Aviv in the barrage.
