Hamas terrorists fired rockets at Israel: what is known

The Israeli military said that on the evening of April 6, in the Lachish area (in the south-central part of the country), "approximately ten shells were identified that crossed into Israeli territory from central Gaza."

The IDF reported that "approximately five shells were successfully intercepted," but "arrivals" were recorded in several areas.

Israeli media reports that security and rescue forces were working at the site in Ashkelon where a rocket fired from Gaza fell.

At least one of the five rockets that were not intercepted hit Ashkelon (a city in the southwest of the country, located on the Mediterranean coast, south of Ashdod — ed.), causing damage and injuring one person, the Israeli press reports.

Medics say the person suffered minor injuries. Footage of the aftermath of the shelling was posted online.

Following the militant attack in the direction of Ashdod, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on Defense Minister Yisrael Katz to "respond harshly" and approved the continuation of intensive military operations against Hamas in Gaza.
