A rocket fired from Gaza has exploded near an Israeli kindergarten, as cross-border violence surged ahead of the two-year anniversary of Israel's war in the Hamas Islamist-run enclave.

The Palestinian-made Qassam rocket exploded about 10 meters from the kindergarten and two adjacent buildings for under-three year olds.

No one was hurt, but a teenage girl in a nearby building was cut by flying glass. Earlier, Israeli aircraft struck at targets in Gaza, wounding two Hamas militants and blowing up tunnels under the border with Egypt used to circumvent Israel's military blockade.

An Israeli military spokesman said at least 14 rockets had been fired from Gaza in the past two days.
