GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip Hamas and other resistance factions in the Gaza Strip began firing rockets from Gaza toward Israeli communities and the city of Jerusalem on May 10.
The 6 p.m. barrage of rockets came hours after Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’ military wing, warned Israel to halt violent actions against Palestinians in Jerusalem.
Brigades spokesman Abu Obeida tweeted, “The Joint Chamber of Palestinian Resistance Factions in the Gaza Strip gave Israel until 6 p.m. on May 10 to withdraw its soldiers from Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in Jerusalem, and release individuals detained in the recent events in Jerusalem.”
