A man was lightly wounded by shrapnel following a rocket impact in Ashkelon this evening, medics say.

Magen David Adom says it is taking the 30-year-old to Barzilai Hospital in the coastal city for treatment.

Several others were treated for acute anxiety, MDA adds.

Hamas launched a barrage of some 10 rockets in the attack, according to the IDF, which said most were intercepted by air defenses.
