Incoming rocket sirens are sounding in the southern Israeli city of Sderot and other nearby towns.

The sirens mark the first since Israel launched an operation against the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group yesterday morning.

There are no immediate reports of injuries or damage.

Footage shows multiple apparent interceptions by the Iron Dome air defense system over the area.
