Palestinians in the Gaza Strip also staged night-time protests in the evening of May 8 to the early hours of May 9, local time, amid riots in East Jerusalem and the West Bank.
A rocket fired from the Gaza Strip into southern Israel exploded in the wilderness, causing no casualties or property damage.
On the morning of 9 May, an IDF spokesman confirmed that, in retaliation, the Israeli Air Force had carried out air strikes on the military installations of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the Gaza Strip in the early hours of the same day (9th).
It is reported that from the local time on May 9 sunset, Israeli Jews will celebrate “Jerusalem Day.” Security officials fear that violence in Jerusalem could escalate further and lead to wider clashes.
