At least four Israelis were reported injured Tuesday in a Palestinian rocket attack from Gaza on the Israeli coastal city of Ashdod, according to media reports.
The Israeli Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper cited a statement by the Israeli Medical Service (MDA) that said one Israeli was in serious condition while three others had slight wounds.
It added that all the injured were transported to a hospital for treatment.
The newspaper said one of the rockets caused large damage to a garage and fire broke out in several cars.
Another barrage of rockets were fired on areas in central Israel, according to the newspaper.
The Israeli army has expanded its air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip, which has been under relentless airstrikes since the surprise offensive by the Palestinian group, Hamas, on Oct. 7.
More than 10,000 people have been killed in the conflict since then, including 8,525 Palestinians and more than 1,538 Israelis.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected growing calls for a cease-fire, saying it would be a “surrender” to Hamas.
An Israeli blockade of the strip has also cut off Gaza from fuel, electricity and water supplies.
Reduced aid deliveries are unable to satisfy the needs of the more than 2 million residents in the Gaza Strip.
