The Iron Dome defense system was able to stop twenty of the rockets.
Populated areas like Ashdod and Be’er Sheva were struck by the projectiles.
Apartment buildings and a parked car were amongst the things struck when rockets came roaring down.
Fourteen people have been treated by emergency workers, in cases related to the attacks.
Terrorists also targeted the nuclear facility at Dimona, but luckily that rocket missed hitting anything.
Israel began Operation Pillar of Defense, earlier on Wednesday, killing the head of Hamas's military.
The government announced that schools and any non essential workplaces will be closed, during Thursday, which will also be covered by a ban on gatherings of more than one hundred people.
