The rocket fire came after Hamas, which rules Gaza, issued an ultimatum demanding Israel stand down its security forces from the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied East Jerusalem after days of violence against Palestinians. Air-raid sirens wailed throughout the day, sending panicked residents scurrying for cover.Īt least five people in Israel have also been killed. In Israel, the nonstop barrages of rocket fire by the Palestinian resistance groups left long streaks of white smoke in their wake. Shamkhani also cited a verse from holy Quran which says that indeed the house of spider is the most fragile house. 'The Palestinian revolutionary youth have extended the (battle) field to the heart of the occupied territories by changing the security equations,' he added. “The spider webs that the Zionists claimed to be iron collapsed with the Palestinian resistance’s missiles,” Shamkhani wrote on his twitter page on Wednesday.
