An Israeli air strike has killed one Palestinian and wounded at least two other people in Gaza, according to local doctors.
The strike targeted a motorcycle on a busy street in the northern town on Jabaliya on Saturday evening, in response to a rocket fired into Israel the day before.
Palestinian doctors told the BBC that a child was among the wounded.
Israel said it had targeted two "terror operatives".
A statement from the Israel Defence Forces said: "IAF aircraft targeted a terror activity site in the northern Gaza Strip, and two terror activity sites in the central Gaza Strip. Direct hits were confirmed.
"The sites were targeted in response to the rocket fire towards southern Israel."
On Friday, a rocket apparently fired by the Mujahideen Shura Council, a Salafi Islamist group in Gaza, landed in the courtyard of a residential building. No one was injured.
There has been a flare-up in reciprocal violence across the border recently, with Hamas and Islamic Jihad firing rockets into Israel in response to an Israeli attack on the southern Gaza city of Rafah.
