Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak has authorized the call-up of 30,000 army reservists, amid speculation about a possible ground offensive on Gaza.
The developments came after Palestinian militants fired rockets from Gaza 70km (45 miles) north towards Tel Aviv.
There were a number of heavy strikes on Gaza overnight, since Israel killed Ahmed Jabari, the military leader of the Islamist group that controls the territory, on Wednesday.
Israel's army tweeted: "Before action, the IDF disperses warning leaflets calling all civilians to evacuate the area. This happened [on Thursday]."
At least 18 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed in Israeli airstrikes, including children, and three Israelis have been killed by Palestinian rocket fire into southern Israel.
