Several volleys of rockets were fired into southern Israel on Friday night from the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip.

A home in the city of Sderot was reported to have suffered a direct hit, and a woman was lightly injured while running to a bomb shelter.

A video tweeted by the Israeli military showed seven rockets being intercepted by the Iron Dome aerial defense system.
