Palestinian militants have targeted Israel's commercial capital Tel Aviv with missiles fired from the Gaza Strip amid escalating violence in the region.
Residents took cover after air raid sirens alerted them to a missile threat for the first time there since 1991.
One missile landed in an uninhabited area while at least one more is thought to have landed in the sea off the city.
Meanwhile, Israel's defence minister has authorised the call-up of 30,000 reservists.
The BBC's Richard Galpin, in Jerusalem, says speculation is mounting that the Israeli army is preparing to launch a ground offensive into the Gaza Strip.
