The alarm sirens sound again in Tel Aviv and other points of central Israel before the fall of rockets launched from the Gaza Strip.
The extremist group Hamas had announced that it would resume the attacks at midnight local time this Saturday.
At the moment no fatalities have been reported.
"Intense attack throughout the country", reported a few minutes ago the journalist Diego Mintz, from Israel.
"Reports of rocket drops in Gan Yavne and Rishon Letzion," he added.
Another Star Wars night in Ashdod.

The new escalation of violence occurs in a context of maximum tension in the area.
This Saturday, Israel's attack on a building in Gaza that
housed various media outlets
surprised and shocked the press around the world.
"We are horrified," said Associated Press President Gary Pruitt.
The US news agency worked in the large 13-story tower that was attacked this Saturday by the Israeli army, where the headquarters of the Arab TV channel Al Jazeera and the French agency AFP were also located.
Israel announced in advance that the building would be the target of an attack - arguing that the extremist group Hamas kept part of its arsenal there - and that employees had to evacuate it in a hurry before it collapsed in the middle of a cloud of dust.
