According to the military, northern Israel was fired at with rockets from Lebanon.
Six rockets were fired on Monday, but none made it across the border into Israel, the military said.
It announced that it would retaliate the attacks with artillery fire in the direction of Lebanon.
The Israeli army had reported a number of military successes that afternoon. In the air strikes in the Gaza Strip, around one hundred kilometers of tunnels run by the ruling Hamas have been destroyed (read more here). A high-ranking Islamist was also deliberately killed in an attack in Gaza. Palestinian militants responded with new rocket attacks on areas bordering the Gaza Strip.
Fighting between Palestinian militants and the Israeli military has been going on for more than a week, despite international calls for a ceasefire.
US President Joe Biden has also spoken out in favor of a ceasefire.
Biden expressed his support for a ceasefire in a phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday, the White House said.
Lebanon and Israel are officially still at war.
Tensions between the Israeli army and Hezbollah continue to arise on the common border.
It is closely allied with Iran and, like Tehran, sees Israel as an archenemy.
