A barrage of nine rockets was launched from southern Gaza’s Rafah at the Israeli city of Beersheba in the latest attack carried out by Hamas.

The IDF says all nine rockets struck an open area.

An earlier Hamas attack of five rockets at Beersheba was launched from the central Gaza Strip, according to the military.

One of the rockets directly struck a park in the city, lightly wounding a woman and causing damage.
