(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - "One rocket hit an empty field in the Eshkol region, causing no damage or injuries," police spokeswoman Luba Samri told AFP.
An additional rocket hit an uninhabited area of the northwestern Negev desert early on Friday morning, according to the Israeli military.
Schools in several areas of southern Israel, including the main Negev city of Beersheva and the Mediterranean coastal towns of Ashdod and Ashkelon, remained closed as a precaution on Friday.
On Thursday, militants fired five rockets from Gaza but none caused any casualties.
Israeli assault helicopters opened fire on the northern Gaza Strip, a Palestinian security source said. The Israeli military confirmed the attack.
Israel was responsible for a major upsurge in cross-border violence though last weekend.
The Islamic Jihad group agreed on Tuesday to begin observing an Egyptian-brokered truce.
Israeli army spokeswoman Avital Leibovich told reporters on Thursday that Palestinians had fired more than 310 rockets at Israel of which "170 rockets or so" struck the Jewish state.
A chain of Israeli air strikes and Palestinian rocket salvoes started when Israel martyred Zuhair al-Qaisi, head of the Gaza-based Popular Resistance Committees, prompting other militant groups to fire rockets over the border.
The army said Qaisi had planned a deadly attack last August -- when militants sneaked across the border from the Sinai Peninsula and killed eight Israelis -- and accused him of planning a repeat attack "in the coming days."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned the truce will be short-lived if the rocket fire continues.
