On Monday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported that about 20 rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip into Israeli territory, with Israeli artillery responding.
Some rockets were intercepted, while others landed in open countryside, it said. Air raid sirens sounded at locations near the border, ordering residents to take cover. The IDF said it had fired artillery at the launch sites.
According to Israeli media, the attacks were the worst in a long time.
Since entering the Gaza Strip following the October 7 attacks by the Palestinian Islamist Hamas movement and other organizations, the Israeli army has destroyed buildings, launch pads and tunnels.
Thousands of rockets were fired at Israeli targets as far away as Tel Aviv and Jerusalem in the first few months. The attacks have since decreased in frequency.
