- Some 20 people were killed in Israeli airstrikes during the evening and to-night, in response to Hamas rocket attacks on Jerusalem and southern Israel, among others.
- Cecilia Uddén, Swedish Radio’s correspondent in the Middle East, describes the situation as very serious.
- “This is more serious than ordinary rocket fire from Gaza and Israeli retaliation, where Egypt and other countries are usually able to mediate. Now that it’s much more serious because it’s about Jerusalem. It is a question that goes straight to the heart of every single person who belongs to one of the three major world religions, that is why the situation is so explosive, ”she says.
