Israel said to launch more strikes in Syria following rocket barrages
The Israeli military is again conducting strikes in Syrian territory, according to Israeli and Syrian media reports, hours after the Israel Defense Forces targeted launch pads used to fire rockets toward Israel.
Syria’s state news agency SANA says explosions have been heard near the capital Damascus.
Hundreds of Palestinians have for hours been barricading themselves inside Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Mosque in the flashpoint Temple Mount holy site and are refusing to disperse.
Many Israeli police forces are deployed in the area and are expected at some point to enter the mosque to remove the Palestinians, who are threatening to disrupt morning visits by Jews to the site and to attempt to attack Jewish masses set to attend the annual Priestly Blessing prayers at the Western Wall for Passover.
Jordan’s Waqf authorities have refused to remove the Palestinians, and Amman has claimed Israel is trying to “fabricate the facts” and demanded that Israel stop its “attacks on worshipers.”
