Israeli media identified the victim as Tamar Torpiashvili.
The Israeli home front continued to face rocket fire from the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, with volleys fired at greater Tel Aviv and Beersheba on Saturday.
A rocket scored a direct hit on a home in Beersheba, but no injuries were reported, as civilians evacuated to safe rooms as warning sirens pealed.
Rockets launched from Gaza also landed in the central cities of Ramat Gan, Holon and Kiryat Ono, lightly injuring three people.
In northern Israel, several anti-tank missile and mortar shell launches were identified from Lebanese territory on Saturday, including at IDF posts along the border. The attacks hit open areas.
IDF tanks and artillery responded with fire towards the origin of the attacks and struck Hezbollah military infrastructure in Lebanon, the army said.
A terrorist cell attempted to fire anti-tank missiles from Lebanon towards the western sector of the border, near Kibbutz Hanita. An IDF UAV struck the cell.
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on Saturday directed the military to continue striking above and below ground in Gaza and to continue its efforts to detect and eliminate Hamas terrorists, both leadership and operatives.
“I completed a situation assessment. Last night we completed a phase in the war. We will continue to be strong and precise, and hunt down every terrorist,” said Gallant.
Israel Defense Forces ground forces that entered northern Gaza on Friday night remained there on Saturday, marking what appears to be the start of the Israeli ground offensive, as opposed to earlier brief raids.
“In Gaza, we are proceeding with the stages of the war. IDF forces entered northern Gaza and broadened the ground activities,” IDF Spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said on Saturday.
Infantry, Armored Corps, and Combat Engineering Corps units all entered the Strip, supported by heavy artillery.
