Hamas fires 10 rockets at southern Israel, injuring one

Hamas launched a barrage of ten rockets from Gaza into southern Israel, marking the most significant attack in months. The Israeli military intercepted five of the rockets, but one struck Ashkelon, lightly injuring a 30-year-old man and causing damage to vehicles and buildings. In response, Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu authorized continued military operations against Hamas, emphasizing a harsh response. The attack was reportedly in retaliation for alleged Israeli actions against civilians in Gaza, with Hamas claiming responsibility shortly after the launch. Israeli emergency services reported treating additional individuals for anxiety and injuries sustained while seeking shelter. The situation underscores the ongoing tensions and violence in the region, following a recent ceasefire that has since deteriorated.
