[Gaza City] Since Monday night, the situation has been boiling over in Gaza as Palestinian movements in Gaza respond to what they call the “violent Israeli aggression against Palestinians at Al-Aqsa Mosque” and in Jerusalem’s Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood, by firing more than 2,900 rockets toward communities in southern and central Israel.
About 1,150 of the rockets were intercepted by Israeli air defenses and around 450 fell short, striking inside the Gaza Strip.
