Rockets were intercepted by Israel's Iron Dome air defence system overnight as Gaza militants launched the largest attack since last year's 11-day war.
Israel responded by launching air strikes in the early hours of Thursday, prompting further launches of at least four rockets by militants in the besieged territory.
One rocket from Gaza on Wednesday evening fell harmlessly in a garden in the southern Israeli city of Sderot, police said.
In retaliation, Israel said its jets had targeted a military post and a tunnel complex 'containing raw chemicals used for the manufacturing of rocket engines'.
Hamas, the Islamist movement which rules the Gaza Strip, said it had fired surface-to-air rockets at Israeli planes.
Pictures showed streaks of light tracing across the sky above the Israeli town of Ashkelon that lies next to the country's border with Gaza - the Palestinian enclave on Israel's eastern Mediterranean coast.
Explosions lit up the night sky as the Israeli Iron Dome air defence system intercepted and destroyed the in-coming rockets.
