Gaza militants fire rockets after clashes flare in Jerusalem

Rockets seen as response to unrest in mostly Palestinian east Jerusalem, including far-right Jewish groups chanting death to Arabs'

Militants in Gaza have fired at least 35 rockets into Israel in one of the most intense flare-ups in months, seemingly triggered by days of tensions in Jerusalem in which far-right Jewish groups and the Israeli police have clashed with Palestinians.

Hours of sustained rocket launches early on Saturday - and Israel's retaliatory strikes on the strip using fighter jets and attack helicopters - broke a months-long lull along the frontier with the coastal enclave.
