Israel said it was preparing for more conflict after militants in Gaza launched their biggest sustained attack in years.
The attack on Israel struck during a season of Jewish holidays.
The early-morning strikes coincided with Simchat Torah, coming toward the end of the weeklong Jewish festival of Sukkot, which is also known as the Feast of the Tabernacles and is a time of autumnal thanksgiving. Simchat Torah celebrates Jewish joy at the possession and observance of the words of the Torah, the Jewish scriptures. Traditionally it is marked by processions in the synagogue with Torah scrolls. There is usually singing, dancing and sweets handed out to the children.
