The four days of cross-border violence showed no sign of abating as Palestinians marked the first day of the Eid al-Fitr religious holiday on Thursday.
On the other hand, the Israeli military said that at least three rockets have been fired from south Lebanon towards Israel. "A short while ago, three rockets were fired from Lebanon into the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of northern Israel," tweeted Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
The source of the rockets fired at Israel is unclear, and the investigation continues.
The rockets that were fired towards northern Israel came from the vicinity of the Rashidieh refugee camp, Al Jazeera reported. A heavy barrage of dozens of rockets targets the cities of Ashdod and Ashkelon, with many intercepted by the Iron Dome air-defense system, reported The Times of Israel.
Earlier in the day, Israel closed Ben Gurion International Airport to incoming passenger flights, diverting them to Eilat's Ramon Airport.
