Rocket sirens sounded in central Israel and Jerusalem on Monday evening as thousands of Israelis were parading through downtown to celebrate Jerusalem Day. Hamas had threatened Israel earlier in the day that it would launch the rockets due to the ongoing clashes in Jerusalem.

After the rocket fire, at least nine people were killed, including three children in Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.
