Incoming rocket sirens are sounding in the coastal city of Ashdod and other nearby towns.

This marks the first long-range rocket attack today, as until now Islamic Jihad had focused its fire on towns close to the border with the Gaza Strip.

Sirens also sound in towns close to the Gaza border.

There are no immediate reports of injuries or damage in the attacks.
