More than 600 Israelis have been killed and 100 kidnapped in attacks from Gaza since Saturday, the Israeli government says.
It adds that more than 100 people have been kidnapped, and more than 2,000 injured.
Retaliatory Israeli air strikes have also killed at least 370 people in the Gaza Strip, with 2,200 wounded, Palestinian officials say
Meanwhile, Israel and Lebanon’s powerful armed group Hezbollah exchanged artillery and rocket fire on Sunday following the deadliest attack in years by Palestinian gunmen on Israel, Reuters reports.
There were no immediate reports of casualties in either Lebanon or Israel from Sunday’s exchanges of fire.
On Saturday, a multi-pronged attack by Palestinian gunmen on Israeli towns left at least 250 Israelis dead, with more than 300 Palestinians killed in Israel’s retaliatory bombardment.
Hezbollah, an armed party backed by Iran, said on Sunday it had launched guided rockets and artillery onto three posts in the Shebaa Farms “in solidarity” with the Palestinian people.
The Israeli military said on Sunday it fired artillery into an area of Lebanon where cross-border fire was launched. “IDF (Israel Defense Forces) artillery is currently striking the area in Lebanon from where a shooting was carried out,” it said.
