Watch Fresh clashes break out at Al-Aqsa, 2 rockets fired from Gaza as tensions soar

Fresh clashes broke out at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, terrorists in the Gaza Strip fired two projectiles at Israel, and riots broke out in Gaza and Arab communities in Israel on Wednesday as tensions spiked at the start of the Passover holiday.

The fighting followed skirmishes the previous night between police and worshipers at the Al-Aqsa Mosque, subsequent rocket fire from Gaza and Israeli counterstrikes in the Strip.

The Israel Defense Forces said one of the launches on Wednesday failed to clear the border and landed inside Gaza, and the second struck an open area near the border fence.

A warning siren sounded in an open area as a result of the launches, the IDF said.

Shortly after, fighting broke out at the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
