Hamas has promised to avenge the deaths of nine militants killed in the deadliest aerial assault on Gaza since the deaths of Israeli and Palestinian teens triggered a fresh escalation in tensions.
Referring to Israel, the militant group warned: "The enemy will pay a tremendous price" over the latest killings.
Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, said seven of its members were killed when Israel hit a tunnel used by its men in the early hours of the morning.
Israel says the airstrikes are in retaliation for rocket attacks from Gaza Two militants from a different group were reportedly killed in a separate strike.
The Israeli military said it struck at least "14 terror sites" including "concealed rocket launchers" in retaliation for rocket attacks from Gaza which a military spokesman described as "unbearable and unacceptable."
Around a dozen rockets were reportedly fired overnight, injuring one Israeli soldier.
Monday's attacks were the deadliest to hit Gaza in recent weeks Another 25 rockets hit Israel on Sunday.
Both Israel and Hamas have stepped up aerial assaults against one another since the deaths of three Israeli teenagers and a 16-year-old Palestinian resulted in a spike in tensions.
Israel blames Hamas for the death of the Jewish teens, whose bodies were discovered in the West Bank last week.
The Palestinian from East Jerusalem was found dead in the Jerusalem Forest a day later in what many suspect was a revenge killing.
Murdered Israeli teens Gilad Shaar, Naftali Frenkel and Eyal Yifrach A preliminary post-mortem examination found that Mohammed Abu Khadair had been burned alive.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjanim Netanyahu has telephoned Mohammed's father to express his outrage at the killing.
"We denounce all brutal behaviour. The murder of your son is abhorrent and cannot be countenanced by any human being," Mr Netanyahu told Hussein Abu Khadair.
The teenager's death has prompted days of violent protests which have spread from East Jerusalem to Arab Israeli towns.
Police said 110 people were arrested overnight for disturbing public order.
A video captures the moment Tariq was reportedly beaten by Israeli police Their arrests follow the detention of Mohammed's cousin Tariq Abu Khadair who was filmed apparently being severely beaten by Israeli police.
Tariq, an American of Palestinian descent, has now been released from custody.
Police claim he resisted arrest, attacked officers and was carrying a slingshot when he was detained during the clashes.
Six Jewish extremists have been arrested on suspicion of involvement in Mohammed's death. .
