Rocket sirens are sounding in the central towns of Hod Hasharon, Ganei Am, Yarkona, Adanim and Petah Tikva minutes after US President Joe Biden left the country after his wartime visit.
The Magen David Adom ambulance service says it does not have any reports of injuries or damage as a result of the barrage.
