GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Hamas and other "resistance" factions in the Gaza Strip began firing rockets from Gaza toward Israeli communities and the city of Jerusalem on May 10. 

The 6 p.m. barrage of rockets came hours after Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’ military wing, warned Israel to halt violent actions against Palestinians in Jerusalem.
