No injuries despite several rocket impacts

No injuries have yet been reported in the latest rocket fire from the Gaza Strip on Ashdod, Ashkelon and Beersheba, including at locations hit by rockets or shrapnel, medics say.

In Ashkelon, a United Hatzalah spokesperson says there are no injuries after a rocket struck a car next to a building in a residential neighborhood, sending shrapnel flying into several apartment buildings.

Footage from the street shows one car on fire and severe damage to several others.

Two people have been lightly injured while running to bomb shelters since the morning, according to the Magen David Adom ambulance service.

“MDA personnel searching at sites where (impacts) were reported did not find any casualties from the missile fire,” it says.
