Three people are wounded in rocket strikes in the Jerusalem region, the Magen David Adom ambulance service says.
MDA says medics are treating a man in his 20s who has been seriously wounded by shrapnel as a result of a rocket impact in Abu Ghosh, west of Jerusalem.
In Beitar Illit, MDA says it is treating four people wounded by the rocket attacks, including a 10-year-old boy in serious condition and three men in light condition.
Another two people are being treated in an undisclosed area near Jerusalem — a woman in her 60s in critical condition, and a man with light injuries, MDA says.
