A rocket fired Monday evening at Israel from the Gaza Strip was intercepted by the missile defense system, the Israeli army announced. “Sirens sounded in the area near the Gaza Strip. A rocket was fired from the Gaza Strip into Israeli territory and was intercepted by the Iron Dome defense system,” the army said in a statement. This new rocket attack has not been claimed but comes after a series of attacks in Israel, two of which were perpetrated by Palestinians, “counterterrorism” operations in the occupied West Bank, and a weekend of tension in holy sites in Jerusalem. Ongoing clashesMore than 150 Palestinians were injured in clashes with Israeli forces on Friday at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, the third holiest site in Islam and also considered the first holiest site in Judaism under its name of Temple Mount. And Sunday, new skirmishes had broken out in and around this holy place that Jews had gone to visit, which was considered an affront by some Muslims. And young Palestinians were arrested the same day after throwing stones at Israeli civilian buses near the scene.
