(250407) -- ASHKELON, April 7, 2025 (Xinhua) -- A car damaged by a rocket attack fired from the Gaza Strip is seen in Ashkelon, Israel on April 6, 2025. Three people were slightly injured on Sunday during a rocket attack on southern Israel by Hamas, which prompted the Israeli army to launch multiple airstrikes on central Gaza later in the day, according to Israeli and Palestinian sources.

Earlier on Sunday, the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, said in a brief statement that it had attacked Ashdod in southern Israel with a barrage of rockets in response to what it described as Israeli "massacres" against Palestinian civilians.

Israeli army spokesperson Avichay Adraee confirmed in a statement that 10 rockets were fired from Gaza, most of which were intercepted.

Later, Israel's state-owned Kan TV News reported that one of the rockets had fallen in central Ashkelon, resulting in the three injuries. (Ilan Assayag/JINI via Xinhua)
