Hamas militant group Launch a rocket into the depths of Israel Several days after violent clashes between Israeli police and Muslim protesters at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, hundreds of Palestinians were injured.

After Hamas issued a deadline for Israel to withdraw its troops from the mosque’s compound at 6 pm, the rocket fired. The mosque is a holy place for Muslims and Jews. Television images showed that the smoke rose from the hills near Jerusalem and entered Israel farther than any rocket launched in recent years.

Health officials in Gaza said the airstrike killed as many as 20 people, including 9 children and injured 65 others. More air strikes are expected.
