Israeli police clashed with dozens of Palestinians inside Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in the early hours of Wednesday, Israeli and Palestinian media reported. Police said the move to enter the mosque was in response to what they described as rioting at the complex.

Following the clashes, rockets were fired at Israel from the Gaza Strip. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said a total of nine rockets were fired early on Wednesday, four of which were intercepted by the aerial defense array, while another four landed "in open areas."

The Israeli Air Force said it responded to the rocket attack by shelling several targets in Gaza, among which a military compound in the north of the coastal area and a military post along the border with Israel.
