The missile launches caused the IDF’s Home Front Command to sound sirens across central Israel, the northern West Bank, Eilat, and the Arava.
Initial reports indicate that shrapnel hit in Rishon Lezion, Ramle, and Bnei Brak, with both Magen David Adom and United Hatzalah reporting that there have been no direct casualties.
However, MDA paramedics treated an unspecified number of people who were injured en route to the shelter, and those who suffered from anxiety, and United Hatzalah added that they had also treated two people injured en route to shelters.
Additionally, MDA paramedics provided medical care to two elderly civilians, approximately 80-years-old. One suffered cuts from broken glass, and the other inhaled smoke, an MDA spokesperson stated.

United Hatzalah responders are en route to reported shrapnel hit sites to investigate further, a spokesperson confirmed.
Tel Aviv District Police have also sent police officers to the scene to assist in first response operations, an Israel Police spokesperson added.
Fires started when vehicles were struck by shrapnel, the Israel Fire and Rescue Authority announced.
Firefighters responded to the scene, working to put out the fires and rescue those trapped inside.
The fire also caused damage to a nearby building, the IFRA stated.
However, a Ramle municipal spokesperson denied this, stating that the fire was caused before sirens sounded, and the two incidents are not connected in nature.
Meanwhile, several sirens were sounded in the Galilee Panhandle following suspected rocket launches from Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon.
