A Palestinian armed group fired rockets towards Jerusalem on Friday for the first time in this week's wave of fighting, as Israeli air strikes killed another Islamic Jihad commander in Gaza, as Egypt tried to reach a solution and a ceasefire.

 For the second day in a row, the Israeli military said it renewed strikes on Gaza, killing one person, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.

In the first response to Israeli airstrikes that killed 19 Palestinians, including three senior militants and at least 10 civilians, Palestinian militants fired dozens of rockets from the Gaza Strip into Israel.

 Israel carried out bloody raids on the Gaza Strip and the raids were the bloodiest since three days of fighting between Israel and Islamic Jihad last August and killed at least 13 Palestinians, including three leaders of the Islamic Jihad movement.

 Protests are still going on for the fourth month in a row against the judicial reform project supported by the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as thousands of Israelis demonstrated on the streets of Tel Aviv, hundreds came out in the city of Rehovot, raised Israeli flags and blocked a major intersection.
