“This is the first strike inside a city since the beginning of the current escalation,” police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said.
The latest rocket launches came amid an escalation in violence along the Gaza border that began after the IAF foiled a major terror attack, killing the secretary general of the Popular Resistance Committees, Zuhair Qaisi in a bombing on Friday.
Magen David Adom paramedics were on the scene, treating Beersheba residents for trauma and shock.
Police said that 29 total rockets had been fired into Israel on Sunday, bringing the total since Friday to more than 130.
