Firefighters rushed to the scene and contained the fire; no injuries were reported.
The second attack targeted a site known as Hitteen, northwest of Khan Younis city, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip.
The bombardment led to fire in a number of structures, and in nearby hothouses used by Palestinian farmers.
