Israel has attacked the Palestinian Gaza Strip. Children also died

The Palestinian radical group Hamas attacked Israel with rockets on Monday. It responded to the riots on Temple Mount, where more than 300 Palestinians were injured in a police crackdown. The Israeli air force retaliated against the Palestinian Gaza Strip, killing 20 people, including nine children.

The Israeli army expects the attacks to continue for several days. Israeli ministers have approved the start of the bombing of the Gaza Strip, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has threatened strong retaliation.

Hamas gave Israeli security an ultimatum to withdraw from the Temple Mount by 18:00 (17:00 CET), and alarm sirens sounded shortly after Jerusalem. Missiles from the Palestinian Gaza Strip aimed at the city. According to Israeli media, one landed in the suburbs of Jerusalem and damaged a house.

The Israeli army has announced that seven rockets were fired from Gaza in Jerusalem and one was destroyed.

The southern Israeli city of Sderot was simultaneously attacked by another radical Islamic Jihad group, which announced that it had fired 30 rockets from the Gaza Strip. The Israeli army said one of the rockets in southern Israel hit a civilian car and injured a man.

Netanyahu said that "Israel will respond strongly to rocket fire from Gaza." "Those who attack us will pay dearly. We will not suffer attacks on our territory, our capital, our citizens or our soldiers, "the prime minister said, but added that Israel was not interested in a massive escalation. Like the military, the violence is expected to last "some time".

Defense Minister Benny Ganc has declared a state of emergency within 70 kilometers of the Gaza Strip. Schools will remain closed in southern Israel on Tuesday. In central Israel, only workplaces and schools with shelters will be open on Tuesday. Only events with up to 30 people can be held outside and up to 50 inside.

A spokesman for Hamas's military wing said the rocket fire at Jerusalem was "a response to the enemy's crimes and its attacks on the holy city (Jerusalem)."

The Israeli air force has counterattacked on the Gaza Strip, killing 20 people, including nine, according to Palestinian sources. The Israeli army has announced that it is targeting Hamas and eight of its officials. It allegedly hit two places where radicals launch rockets and two observation posts.

Today, Israelis celebrate Jerusalem Day to commemorate the occupation of the eastern part of the city and its later unification. However, Jerusalem has been the scene of unrest for several days, with tensions provoking the intention to evict some Arab families from the Sheikh Jarrah district
