El ejército Israelí confirmó estar desarrollando ataques aéreos sobre la Franja de Gaza como respuesta a una serie de ataques en el sur de Israel.
At least six people, including a senior militant, were killed in the air strikes, Palestinian sources said.
Earlier, Israeli officials promised a strong response after attacks on vehicles near Eilat left seven dead.
Israeli officials said Gazan militants were responsible, although Gaza's Hamas government denied involvement.
Palestinian sources told the BBC that four members of the Popular Resistance Committees (PRC), a faction in Gaza that is loyal to Hamas but sometimes operates separately, had been killed in the air strikes.
These included Kamal al-Nairab, the group's top commander, they said.
Palestinian sources, also quoted by Reuters, said two people had been killed in a house in Rafah after Israeli drones - often used for air strikes - were heard overhead.
The attacks earlier in the day near the southern Israeli city of Eilat began when gunmen opened fire on a bus.
Israeli officials said two other vehicles were then hit nearby - one by a rocket and one by an explosive device.
They said that the attacks left seven Israelis dead and that a number of gunmen were killed in an ensuing firefight.
