Israel airstrikes kill 20 in Gaza, Palestinians say

Violent clashes over Jerusalem escalated dramatically on Monday with Gaza health officials saying at least 20 people, including nine children, were killed by Israeli air strikes launched after Palestinian militant groups fired rockets close to Jerusalem.

This report produced by Yahaira Jacquez.

Eyewitness video shows the white contrails of Israel's missile defense system cutting across the sky, then moving to intercept Palestinian rockets fired from the Gaza Strip on Monday.

Islamist militants fired a barrage of rockets toward Jerusalem and southern Israel in what the Palestinian Hamas group said was punishment for violent confrontations between Israeli police and Palestinian protesters.

The rockets triggered air raid warnings, sending Israeli schoolchildren into bomb shelters.

There were no immediate reports of casualties from the rocket fire in Israel.

Retaliation from Israel was swift.

In Gaza, the health ministry said at least 20 people, including nine children, were killed in Israeli air strikes on the Palestinian territory.

Some of the injured were brought to this hospital in northern Gaza, where a child cried out in pain and a woman who lost her husband screamed as she followed his body out of the hospital.

Israel's military said it carried out strikes against armed groups, rocket launchers and military posts in Gaza after militants there crossed what Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called a "red line" by firing on the Jerusalem area for the first time since a 2014 war.

"The terrorist organizations crossed a red line on Jerusalem Day and attacked us, on the outskirts of Jerusalem.

Israel will respond very forcefully." U.S Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Monday urged all sides to take steps to reduce tensions.

"Needless to say we are very focused on the situation in Israel, West Bank, Gaza.

Very deeply concerned about the rocket attacks that we are seeing now, that need to stop, need to stop immediately." Tensions have been rising for weeks in Jerusalem.

Jewish groups are trying to evict Palestinian residents from a neighborhood in the eastern part of the city.

As Israel celebrated "Jerusalem Day" earlier on Monday with marches marking its capture of eastern sections of the holy city in the 1967 Arab-Israeli war, violence erupted at the Al Aqsa mosque, Islam's third most sacred site.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said more than 300 Palestinians were injured in clashes with police who fired rubber bullets, stun grenades and tear gas.

The vote came as U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Israel for talks centered on humanitarian aid and the looming assault on the city of Rafah. The U.S. has called a cease-fire crucial for protecting civilians and expanding aid distribution as over 2 million Palestinians face the threat of famine. NBC reports that the failed resolution contained no direct link to the release of hostages taken by Hamas during the group's October 7 attack on Israel. The resolution did reportedly support diplomatic efforts "to secure such a cease-fire in connection with the release of all remaining hostages.". According to Israel, 130 hostages remain in Gaza, while another 34 have already died in captivity. Three previous attempts at a resolution were vetoed by the U.S. in October, December and February. The failed fourth resolution came after the U.N.'s Integrated Food Security Phase Classification initiative warned that "famine is imminent" in Gaza. . The initiative also warned that escalation of the war could push half of Gaza's entire population to the edge of starvation.
