Four direct rocket hits on southern Israel homes, no injuries reported

Direct rocket hits were reported in the southern Israeli cities of Sderot and Ashkelon following a heavy barrage of rockets from the Gaza Strip on Wednesday night.

The municipalities of Sderot and Ashkelon both confirmed they had received initial reports of two direct hits on unspecified residential buildings in the cities. 

Rockets hit a private home in Sderot in addition to two other direct hits on two residential buildings in Ashkelon. No injuries were reported.

Unconfirmed footage taken from Ashkelon shows a damaged car parked among the rubble of the reported rocket strike. The Ashkelon resident whose home was hit by a rocket was not injured due to being inside a shelter, the Ashkelon municipality said.
