At least 65 others wounded in air strikes, Palestinian health ministry says, after Hamas fires rockets into Israel.
More than a dozen Palestinians have been killed in Israeli air raids on the besieged Gaza Strip, according to the Palestinian health ministry, after Hamas launched rockets from the coastal territory towards Israel. The Gaza health ministry told Al Jazeera on Monday that 20 people, including children, had been killed in the strikes. At least 65 others were wounded. Earlier Hamas, the ruling entity in Gaza, fired dozens of rockets into Israel, including a barrage that set off air raid sirens as far away as Jerusalem, after hundreds of Palestinians were wounded by Israeli forces which stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied East Jerusalem. Hamas had given Israel an ultimatum that it stand down forces from Al-Aqsa, the third holiest site in Islam which is also revered by Jews.
