Rocket warning sirens have been sounding in several southern Israel communities near Gaza Monday morning, including the city of Ashkelon and the towns of Kisufim and Ein Hashlosha, according to Israeli media.
There have been no reports of any casualties, but a chicken coop was set on fire by one rocket.
Residents of the Eshkol regional council, south of Gaza, have been told by local authorities to stay in their bomb shelters until further notice.
Earlier, the Israeli military tweeted that 3,150 rockets had been fired by Palestinian militants towards Israel since last Monday.
About 460 rockets had misfired and landed in the strip, while the iron dome missile defence system has intercepted about 90% of those that had crossed into Israel, it added.
The military said it had struck more than 820 “terror targets” in Gaza in response.
