A video went viral on social media Tuesday seemingly showing a militant-fired rocket slamming into a city street in Israel after hours of clashes between police and Palestinians at the al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem.
“A bus in the Israeli city of Holon is hit with a rocket from Gaza,” reports the Daily Caller.
It remains unclear which town video originated from.

More than 400 missiles rained down on Israel in recent days after clashes erupted between Palestinians and police in Jerusalem.
“Two Israeli women were killed in Ashkelon on Tuesday as barrages of rockets struck the southern city and the IDF continued to target Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terrorist sites throughout the Gaza Strip,” reports the Jerusalem Post.
Since 6PM, terrorist groups in Gaza have been firing rockets at Israeli civilians.
Non-stop.
The time is now 4AM.
That's 10 hours of rocket attacks.

'IT WAS IRAN': Israel Says TEHRAN Behind Gaza Mortar Barrage
Israeli officials publicly blamed Iran for the recent mortar attack on southern Israel Wednesday, saying Tehran was the “culprit” behind the barrage that included 180 Iranian-manufactured shells.
According to the Jerusalem Post, IDF Spokesperson Ronen Manelis confirmed the mortar shells were produced inside the Islamic Republic and smuggled into the region by Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
“Despite Israel’s intelligence superiority over terror groups, as well a blockade imposed both by the IDF and Egypt, Hamas and other terror groups in the Strip have restocked their supply of weapons in the four years since the last round of fighting between Israel and Hamas,” writes the Post.
“The mass-produced Iranian mortar shells used in Tuesday’s salvos were also used by Islamic Jihad in an attack in January and in a barrage 12 mortar shells fired toward an army outpost in November,” adds the author.
The revelation raises new questions over Iran’s influence in the region as the United States urges western allies and other nations to help clampdown on Tehran’s nuclear program.
