JERUSALEM—Militants in Gaza fired rockets and Israel responded with airstrikes early Wednesday following violent clashes at Jerusalem’s most sensitive holy site, raising fears of a wider conflict.
Most of the 16 rockets fired from the Palestinian territory fell in open areas or were shot down by Israeli air defense, according to Israeli authorities. One of the rockets struck a factory in the southern city of Sderot, they said, but no casualties were reported. Air-raid sirens rang out in Israeli cities near the Gaza border at around 3 a.m. local time Wednesday, rushing residents in the area to bomb shelters.
