JERUSALEM: Hamas militants on Monday fired rockets at Israel from the Gaza Strip after warning the Jewish state to pull out its security forces from the violence-torn Al-Aqsa mosque compound and a flashpoint Jerusalem district.
A spokesman for Hamas's armed wing the Qassam Brigades said that at 1500 GMT"a volley of rockets was fired towards the enemy in occupied Jerusalem in response to its crimes and aggression on the holy city and repression of its residents in Sheikh Jarrah and the Al-Aqsa mosque"."This is a message that the enemy must understand well: if you respond we will respond, and if you escalate we will escalate.
Israeli Knesset member Itamar Ben Gvir gives a victory sign as he argues with Palestinians during a visit to the Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood of East Jerusalem, on May 10, 2021. "An alarm has just been sounded in Jerusalem. Police forces have begun evacuating hundreds of people" gathered at the Wailing Wall to safer locations, police said in a brief statement, later adding that the evacuation was completed.
Israeli police restricted access to Al-Aqsa to Palestinians aged over 40, checking identification of anyone who wanted to access the plaza.
