The rockets fell in the southern regional councils of Pitchat Shalom and Shaar HaNegev, areas both bordering the Palestinian territory.
The attack brought to 26 the number of rockets fired from Gaza into Israel since July 1, the military said.
July has seen an uptick in the number of rockets and other projectiles fired at Israel from Gaza after several months of calm following a flare-up of violence in April, when an anti-tank missile fired from Gaza hit an Israeli school bus, killing a teenager.
Israel responded to that attack with a series of air strikes that killed at least 19 Palestinians in the deadliest violence since Israel`s devastating 22-day assault on Gaza in 2008-2009.
The violence had raised fears of another similar offensive, but on April 10 Gaza`s Hamas rulers declared a return to the truce that ended Israel`s Operation Cast Lead in January 2009. (*)
