Mahmoud Illean / APĮarlier, police had announced a change to the route of a traditional Jerusalem Day flag march, which draws thousands of participants each year. Palestinians clash with Israeli security forces at the Al Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem's Old City on Monday. In total, the hospital treated five people, all in mild condition. The injured on Monday included an Israeli 7-month-old, who was hit in the head with a stone and was under observation in the pediatric emergency room, Hadassah Hospital spokesperson Hadar Elboim said. Police said 21 officers were hurt, according to the news agency, including three who were hospitalized.Ī spokesperson for the mosque said the clashes began when police tried to evacuate the compound, where many Palestinian worshippers sleep during the holy month of Ramadan, to allow Israelis in. Jonathan Conricus said in a briefing to foreign reporters that six of the rockets were fired into Jerusalem, and one missile hit a house in the outskirts of the city, but no one was injured. The Israel Defense Forces, or IDF, said 45 missiles were fired into Israel in what the organization's spokesperson called a 'blatant, severe attack' by Hamas. “This is a message the enemy should understand well,” he said.

Mahmud Hams / AFP - Getty ImagesĪbu Ubaida, spokesman for Hamas’ military wing, the al-Qassam Brigades, said the rocket attack was a response to what he called Israeli “crimes and aggression” in Jerusalem. Rockets are fired Monday toward Israel from Gaza City, controlled by the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas. Explosions and air raid sirens were heard in Jerusalem after the Hamas set a deadline for Israel to remove its security forces from flashpoints in Jerusalem and release Palestinians detained in the latest clashes. The rockets came on the anniversary of Israel's capture of the Old City of Jerusalem and its eastern neighborhoods in the 1967 Six-Day War.
