Jerusalem - Israel s army launched air strikes on Gaza Monday in response to rockets fired by the Islamist movement Hamas amid spiralling violence sparked by unrest at Jerusalem s Al-Aqsa mosque compound.
Adding to the sense of chaos, a huge fire engulfed trees in the compound that houses the mosque, Islam s third holiest site, and the Temple Mount sacred to Jews.
At least nine people were killed in Gaza among them a senior Hamas commander local authorities said. But it was not immediately clear whether they all died in Israeli strikes or from a misfired Hamas rocket.
