The Scottish Parliament is to back a ceasefire brokered by France and Egypt in a bid to end the violence in Gaza.
It comes after several rockets have been fired into northern Israel from a Lebanese village, Israeli authorities have confirmed.
Five Israelis had minor injuries as the Israeli army responded with artillery fire.
No group has claimed responsibility so far and the Lebanese government has condemned the attacks.
The attacks came from neighbouring Lebanon after Israel launched 60 air strikes overnight in Gaza.
The death toll stands at over 700 people and up to 3,000 injured on day 13 of the Israeli invasion.
The ceasefire plan is said to have been taken into consideration by Israeli authorities but it is looking doubtful if the Israelis will halt their operations.
Both Hamas and Israel have agreed to stop any military action for three hours everyday to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza although this has been criticised by the UN’s John Ging because it is not enough time.
