The shelling comes after Lebanese Shiite Hezbollah group’s activist Samir Kantar was killed in an alleged Israeli airstrike that targeted a residential building near the Syrian capital.
Earlier in the day, a source in the Lebanese army told RIA Novosti that unknown individuals fired three rockets from southern Lebanon at Israel.
Kuntar served nearly 30 years in an Israeli prison for murder of four Israeli citizens and was released in 2008 as part of a prisoner swap with Hezbollah.
