Ten rockets fired at Israel from Gaza, military says

Ten missiles were launched from the Gaza Strip at Israel on Sunday, the Israeli military says.

Most of the projectiles were intercepted, a spokesman for the military said.

The Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Palestinian extremist group Hamas, claimed responsibility for the attack, which was the heaviest rocket fire from Gaza in months.

One man was slightly injured by shrapnel in the southern Israeli city of Ashkelon, according to the Israeli rescue service.

The military spokesman said a road and several parked vehicles were also damaged in the city, located on the Israeli coast north of the Gaza Strip.
