STORYLINE:
Israeli airstrikes on Tuesday and early on Wednesday targeted four suspected arms caches and three other Hamas facilities across Gaza.
Palestinian officials said a total of 16 people were wounded.
Among them were a pregnant woman and a teenage boy living next to the site of a strike that occurred in the early hours of on Wednesday on an unoccupied building in Jabaliya, in northern Gaza, who were hurt by blast and flying shrapel.
An Israeli military statement said the target was a Hamas arms dump and that "secondary explosions were identified" - an apparent reference to exploding ordnance.
In another airstrike in eastern Gaza City missiles struck at a cement factory. No injuries were reported.
In an earlier Israeli attack, just before midnight on Tuesday, planes struck unoccupied buildings used by Hamas-linked forces, Palestinians said, adding that in one of the strikes, on a building in the southern Gaza town of Rafah, the missiles failed to explode.
Hamas militants defied Israeli air strikes and threats to kill their top leaders on Tuesday, firing more rockets into Israel, as the Palestinian president arrived in Gaza in an effort to defuse the escalating conflict.
Members of the Islamic militant group fired two rockets shortly after sunset on Tuesday into the battered Israeli town of Sderot where a woman died in an attack the day before.
Israel's deputy defence minister threatened on Tuesday to target Hamas political leaders, calling them "terrorists in suits" after a rocket attack by the Islamic militant group killed an Israeli woman.
The 31-year-old woman who died on Monday night was the first Israeli killed by a Palestinian rocket since November, inviting a harsh response.
Militants fired nine more rockets at Israel on Tuesday, slightly wounding two people, the army said.
Israeli leaders suggested that even Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas could be targeted in reprisals, with Deputy Defence Minister Ephraim Sneh calling Hamas' leaders "terrorists in suits" in a radio interview.
Wary of Israeli strikes, leaders of Hamas and other Palestinian militant groups in Gaza have lowered their profiles, turning off cell phones and staying off the streets.
In Gaza, Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri threatened harsh retaliation if the group's leaders were attacked.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, of the moderate Fatah, travelled from his West Bank headquarters to Gaza for talks with Hamas leadership in a last-ditch attempt to salvage a truce with Israel and rein in factional bloodletting between the two factions.
