Israeli warplanes have carried out an attack east of Gaza city.
The attack killed one person and wounded five, Palestinian medical officials told the BBC.
The Israeli military said that the raid was aimed at a group of Palestinian militants preparing to fire rockets into Israel.
On Tuesday, Israel jets struck Gaza twice, targeting an Islamic Jihad operative in the northern Strip. Ten people were wounded in the strikes.
The Israeli military named the man killed in the latest attack as Muman Abu Daf of the Army of Islam, part of a loose network of Palestinian groups that profess allegiance to or inspiration from al-Qaeda.
A spokeswoman said two short-range rockets were launched from Gaza on Thursday and five on Wednesday. There were no casualties or damage from the missiles.
Reporting from Jerusalem, the BBC's Kevin Connolly says many of the rocket attacks from Gaza appear to be the work of small factions of Salafists - puritan Islamic fundamentalists - but Israel continues to hold the Hamas government in Gaza responsible for any anti-Israeli violence which emanates from the territory.
