After Friday's deadly air strikes against Gaza, the violence continued on Saturday.
By lunchtime, several attacks were said to have been carried out - attacks that Israel claims are aimed at militant groups in the Gaza Strip.
A total of 12 people, including a 5-year-old girl, have now been killed.
The ongoing violence is the bloodiest since the 11-day war in May 2021.
After warning residents by telephone, warplanes on Saturday reportedly dropped several bombs targeting a member of the Islamic Jihad group, AP reports.
The attack completely destroyed a two-story house in the western part of Gaza City and the explosions caused damage to several houses next door.
“Did they warn us?
They warned us with rockets and we fled without taking anything with us," Huda Shamalakh, who lives near the bombed two-story building, told AP.
According to AP, another attack on Saturday was directed at an Islamic Jihad facility in the same area.
Islamic Jihad is classified, just like Hamas, as a terrorist organization by, among others, the EU and the US.
Civilians in Israeli cities have fled to shelters
In response to Friday and Saturday's attacks, Islamic Jihad is said to have fired rockets aimed at Israel and during Saturday, according to the BBC, sirens were heard in Israeli cities warning of incoming rockets.
Reuters reports that according to Israel, around 160 rockets were fired, forcing civilians to flee to shelters.
Most of the rockets are said to have been deflected and according to Israel, the shelling has not caused any serious damage.
The militant group Hamas does not yet appear to have fired rockets and there are no reports of Israeli airstrikes from Israel against Hamas on Friday or Saturday, the BBC writes.
Islamic Jihad: No Plan for Ceasefire
In a televised speech on Friday, Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid said the attacks were carried out based on "concrete threats".
According to the BBC, the Israel Defense Forces state that 19 members of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group were arrested in raids on the occupied West Bank during the night of Saturday.
Islamic Jihad has not yet released any information on how many members have been killed or injured.
One of the leaders told Reuters that now is the time for resistance - not for a ceasefire.
