Iran Press/ Iran news: Palestinian Resistance Movement fired rockets into occupied territories in retaliation over Israeli military attack on Palestinian worshipers at al-Aqsa mosque.
The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) has fired rockets into Israel from Gaza just minutes after the passing of its ultimatum for Israel to withdraw security forces from both the Jerusalem al-Quds compound that is home to the al-Aqsa mosque and the Old City’s Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood.
The Hamas' ultimatum followed the latest clashes around the compound on Monday, which left more than 300 people injured.
The latest violence came after Israeli police stormed the compound early on Monday, firing stun grenades and teargas and clashing with Palestinians inside following days of worsening incidents.
Hamas’ military wing claimed responsibility for the rocket fire in a statement saying it struck occupied territories in response to Israel’s “crimes and aggression in the Holy City, and its harassment of our people in Sheikh Jarrah and Al-Aqsa Mosque”.
“This is a message that the enemy should understand well,” said a spokesperson.
