(about 7 hours later)
Israel says its jets have hit two targets in the Gaza Strip. Israel says its jets have hit two targets in the Gaza Strip after rockets were fired into southern Israel.
The Israeli military said the targets were Hamas weapon manufacturing facilities, adding that the strikes were in response to two rockets fired from Gaza into southern Israel. Israel's military said it targeted Hamas weapon-making facilities. Palestinian officials said a woman and child in a nearby house were killed.
A pregnant woman and her young daughter in a nearby house were killed, Palestinian officials said. Later, three Israelis were stabbed near Hadera - the latest in a spate of such attacks amid mounting tensions.
In the West Bank, Israeli police say a Palestinian woman set off an explosive device at a checkpoint. West Bank medical officials say a boy of 13 was shot dead by Israeli forces in clashes near a Jewish settlement.
She was stopped by police while driving on Sunday morning near the Israeli settlement of Maale Adumim. Earlier in the West Bank, a Palestinian woman set off an explosion at a checkpoint, Israeli police said.
She "shouted 'Allahu Akbar' (God is great) and detonated an explosive device", a police spokeswoman said, adding that the woman was in critical condition and a policeman was slightly wounded. She was stopped while driving early on Sunday near another settlement, Maale Adumim.
Initial reports had said the woman had died in the blast. Security forces said she shouted Allahu Akbar (God is great) before the explosion.
Following Sunday's air strikes, Israel Defense Forces' spokesman Lt Col Peter Lerner said: "The IDF holds Hamas responsible for any act of aggression from the Gaza Strip." The Shin Bet internal security agency said she tried to ignite a gas cylinder using flammable materials.
As well as the two reported deaths, medical staff in the Zeitun sector south of Gaza City say three people are trapped in the rubble of the destroyed house. "We are not talking about an explosive device," a statement said.

The latest incidents are a sign of how unrest continues at a worrying level.
Since Friday, it has spread to the Gaza Strip. The killing of a Palestinian mother and her child there follows protests near the border fence with Israel that left at least nine Palestinians, including teenagers, killed by Israeli fire.
The use of explosives by a Palestinian woman motorist in the West Bank appears to be a new departure in the recent wave of violence. This has mostly involved young Palestinians carrying out so-called "lone wolf" stabbing attacks targeting Jews.
Clashes between Palestinians and Israeli security forces are continuing in annexed East Jerusalem and cities in the occupied West Bank. They have also spread to Arab neighbourhoods of Israel. All this contributes to fears that the situation could escalate into a wider uprising.
