The Israel Defense Forces says it carried out an airstrike against a Palestinian Islamic Jihad military post in the southern Gaza Strip, used to launch mortars at Israel earlier today.
The IDF adds that it is continuing to strike targets across Gaza at this hour.
The strikes come after a major barrage of rockets was fired at central and southern Israel.
One of the rockets lands in a park in the southern city of Beersheba.
Footage circulating online shows the scene of the rocket impact. There were no injuries in the incident.
