According to a BBC report, Hamas launched at least eight missiles from the Rafah area in southern Gaza, with some intercepted by Israeli security forces.
The report also indicated that alarm sirens were activated in several cities and towns, including Herzliya and Petah Tikva.
The missile attack on Israel occurred shortly after a new batch of aid trucks entered Gaza from southern Israel via a new deal to bypass the Rafah crossing, which had been closed for weeks.
