At least 25 Palestinians, including six children, have been wounded in an Israeli air strike on the besieged Gaza Strip, according to the Palestinian health ministry.
Al Jazeera reported that Friday night’s air raid by Israel followed the alleged launching of rockets from inside the Gaza Strip.
One was reportedly intercepted by Israel’s US-built Iron Dome missile defence system over the southern Israeli city of Sderot, while the second did not reach Israeli territory.
A third rocket, allegedly fired from Gaza, exploded in Sderot, according to the Israeli daily Haaretz. No casualties were reported.
The Israeli strike came amid heavy protests in the occupied West Bank, East Jerusalem and besieged Gaza over US President Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
