Barrage of rockets strikes southern Israel

Iron Dome successfully intercepts one of six rockets from the Gaza Strip, hours after Qassam lands in Ashkelon following overnight IAF strikes.

13 rockets exploded in southern Israel Friday, including one shot down by the Iron Dome missile defense system near Ashdod. No injuries were reported.

The barrage followed IAF strikes in Gaza overnight Thursday, which left one dead and 12 wounded.
