An 87-year-old Israeli woman died in a rocket attack from the Gaza Strip yesterday.
Authorities say the woman was hit in the head when running to the shelter as air raid sirens were sounded.
She became Israel's eighth victim since Monday when the country launched attacks on the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli military says at least 1,750 rockets have been fired by Gaza Palestinian militants toward Israel since Monday, but the country's Iron Dome system intercepted most of the rockets.
In Gaza, Israel continued to pound the besieged Palestinian enclave with airstrikes and shellings.
Israel also massed forces near the border fence separating Gaza and Israel.
The Hamas-ruled Health Ministry says 103 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed in the Israeli assaults.
