Hamas and other groups are retaliating for Israeli shelling, which happened on Saturday.
The Israeli shelling was in turn in retaliation for an attack, out of Gaza, that injured Israeli border troops.
Israel has responded to the rockets, with airstrikes and more shelling.
At least two Gazan militants have been killed for their attacks on Israel.
Residents in Gaza say that several civilians have been injured in the fighting.
So far the rockets have not caused any injuries or damage on the Israeli side of the border, but cities in the area have been paralyzed by the constant threat.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that, "The world needs to understand that Israel will not sit with arms crossed when faced by attempts to hurt us. And we are prepared to harshen the response."
His statement ignited worries that Israel is considering moving ground troops into Gaza, which it has been forced to do so before.
