Israel has threatened to retaliate after two brothers were seriously injured in a rocket attack by Palestinian militants in Gaza.
The rocket, which landed in the town of Sderot, was one of around a dozen fired into southern Israel on Saturday.
During the day, Israeli planes attacked Palestinian positions thought to be used as rocket launch sites, wounding two people.
In another air strike, a Palestinian militant was killed.
