Israel Strikes Syria in Response to Rocket Attacks, Tensions Rise in Jerusalem.

Israel launched strikes on targets in Syria after rare rocket fire from its northeastern neighbor. The rocket fire was reportedly in retaliation for the police raid on Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa Mosque. The strikes came on the Christian holy day of Easter and tensions have been simmering at the volatile Jerusalem shrine important to both Jewish and Muslim worshippers. The area borders Syria, which considers the territory as its own. No damage or casualties were reported in Israeli territory, and it was unclear if there were casualties in Syria.
