Gaza militants fired rockets into Israel and the Israeli military struck from the air killing nine Palestinians on Wednesday (November 13).
The latest strikes have raised the Palestinian death toll to 23 over a two-day escalation in violence since Israel launched strikes to kill an Islamic Jihad commander.
Islamic Jihad published a video showing militants launching rockets toward Israeli towns.
The Israeli military said that it had struck at least five rocket squads on Wednesday morning. Other targets included a rocket warhead manufacturing facility, an Islamic Jihad headquarters and a weapons storage site. Islamic Jihad confirmed that two of its militants were killed in separate strikes.
There were reports of injuries but no deaths inside Israel, where the military said it shot many of the rockets down with air defences.
