Hamas fired 19 rockets at southern Israel on Sunday. One struck the yard of a home in Ashdod and caused two shrapnel injuries.

A man and woman sustained light wounds and were evacuated to hospital, and several people were treated by paramedics for shock.

During the late afternoon, after Hamas announced its own cease-fire, Netivot and the Sdot Negev region were targeted by rockets that hit in open areas, causing no injuries or damage.

Earlier on Sunday, two rockets were fired at Ashkelon. One projectile struck within city limits, damaging a structure and sending a woman into shock. The second rocket fell in an open area outside the city.

Thirteen of the 19 rockets struck in the Lachish region and 6 across the Negev. Three people were lightly wounded, including the two shrapnel victims in Ashdod, and 15 were treated for shock. The warning siren failed to go off before the attack, and residents were unable to seek shelter.

Two Kassam rockets slammed into open areas in the Sha'ar Hanegev region on Sunday evening, hours after Hamas and other Palestinian factions declared a cease-fire.

Nobody was wounded in the latest attack, and no damage was reported.
