The number of Hezbollah rockets to hit northern Israel since fighting began more than a month ago surpassed 4,000 on Sunday, Israel Radio said.
Israeli authorities said 262 Hezbollah rockets fell on Israel on Sunday, including 15 in Haifa, Israel's third largest city. The rockets killed one person and injured 20 others less than 24 hours before a cease-fire was to take effect, rescue services said.
A rocket that directly hit a house in the town of Shlomi killed a 70-year-old man and wounded two others. Five other people were hurt in barrages throughout northern Israel, rescue services said.
In another strike, a rocket reportedly hit an industrial area near Kiryat Shmona, causing damage to a building, the Jerusalem Post reported.
The AP contributed to this report.
