After a lull of 21 hours, rockets are launched from the Gaza Strip at towns in southern Israel.
Sirens sound in the Gaza border communities of Nirim and Ein Hashlosha.
There are no immediate reports of damage or injuries. Both communities are largely evacuated.
The rate of rocket fire from Gaza has slowed significantly in recent weeks as the IDF expands its ground operation against Hamas.
