Israeli fighter jets bombed the Gaza Strip in response to a volley of rockets fired by militants in Lebanon and Gaza at Israel. The exchange of fire followed two days of mounting tensions at Jerusalem's al-Aqsa mosque. After Israeli police forcibly removed Palestinian worshippers from the site on both Tuesday and Wednesday nights. Palestinian militants in Lebanon fired 34 rockets at Israel, and earlier in the day, Palestinian militants in Gaza launched seven surface-to-air rockets. The escalation is a major security challenge for Israel's hardline government, which took office last year with ultranationalists in security posts pledging a tougher stance against Palestinians.

Key points:

  • Israeli fighter jets bombed Gaza Strip after militants in Lebanon and Gaza fired rockets at Israel.
  • Hamas, which controls the blockaded coastal enclave, was the target of the Israeli military's four hits.
  • Militants retaliated, leading to air-raid sirens in southern Israel.
  • Tensions escalated at Jerusalem's al-Aqsa mosque after Israeli police removed Palestinian worshippers on two consecutive nights.
  • Palestinian militants in Lebanon fired 34 rockets at Israel, believed to be affiliated with Hamas or Islamic Jihad, and some were intercepted by air defenses.
  • The situation is a security challenge for Israel's hardline government, with the al-Aqsa compound being a major point of contention in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
