TL;DR Summary

Terrorists in Gaza fired seven surface-to-air rockets towards Israel, triggering rocket warning sirens in nearby communities. The missiles were likely targeting Israeli Air Force craft in the area. The launches came after projectiles were launched from Gaza the previous evening and Palestinians clashed with police at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. The violence follows skirmishes on Tuesday between police and worshipers at the mosque, subsequent rocket fire from Gaza, and Israeli counterstrikes in the Strip on Wednesday morning. The unrest came amid concerns of a potential escalation during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which frequently sees a spike in Israeli-Palestinian tensions.
