The rocket was part of a barrage aimed at Ashdod shortly after 5 pm. It was intercepted by the Iron Dome aerial defense system, but due to its size a large segment of the projectile fell through the roof of the supermarket.

No physical injuries were reported, although the supermarket building sustained considerable damage.
