A barrage of ten rockets was fired by Hamas from the Gaza Strip at the Ashdod area in southern Israel a short while ago, the military says.

According to the IDF, most of the rockets were intercepted by air defenses.

Rocket impacts are reported in Ashkelon, with damage caused to a road. There are no immediate reports of injuries.

The attack marks one of the largest rocket barrages on Israel from Gaza in recent months.
