Kashmir Stands with Palestine | Al-Aqsa under Israel Attack

At least 106 others wounded in air strikes, Palestinian health ministry says, after Hamas fires rockets into Israel.

At least 24 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.

‘You escalate, we escalate’

Hamas on Monday warned Israel to withdraw all its forces from the mosque compound and the east Jerusalem district of Sheikh Jarrah, where looming evictions of Palestinian families have fuelled angry protests.

Sirens wailed across Jerusalem just after the 1500 GMT deadline set by Hamas as people in the city, including lawmakers in the Knesset legislature, fled to bunkers for the first time since the 2014 Gaza conflict.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Hamas had “crossed a red line” by targeting Jerusalem.

The Qassam Brigades said the rocket attacks were in response to Israeli actions in Sheikh Jarrah and around 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,” it said.

Several properties in Israel have been damaged by rockets, including an apartment in the southern city of Ashkelon, and a house in Beit Nekofa, about 10 kilometres west of central Jerusalem.

An Israeli Arab died from gunshot wounds in violence with Israeli Jews in the central city of Lod, police said on Monday, without providing details.

Israeli forces continued to bombard the territory well into Tuesday morning, targeting sites in Khan Younis, al-Bureij refugee camp, and al-Zaitoun neighbourhood.

At least three civilians were killed at dawn, after an Israeli warplane targeted a house in al-Shati’ refugee camp.

A spokesman for the civil defense in Gaza, Raed al-Dahshan, told Al Jazeera that among the three was a woman and a disabled man.

The Gaza health ministry said the death toll from the Israeli attacks has risen to 24 people, including nine children. At least 106 others were wounded.

Mohammed Nseir from the Gaza Strip has been martyred by an Israeli attack, on the same day his wife gave birth to their child. One heart beats while another stops.

Most of the children belonged to the same extended family. Two siblings, 11-year-old Ibrahim and seven-year-old Marwan, were the only children of Yousef al-Masri.

The children were playing outside their homes before the Ramadan iftar meal in Beit Hanoun, in the northern Gaza Strip, before two explosions rocked the street.

On Monday, schoolteacher Eman Basher paid tribute to Rahaf al-Masri, a 10-year-old girl killed in the attacks.

Kashmir Twitter flooded with tweets showing support to the fighting Palestinians.
