The Red Alert sirens went off in Jerusalem, just around 8:14 AM on Sunday. Reports indicate at least two Iron Dome interceptions near Jerusalem. The attacks happened as Jews are commemorating Tisha B'Av, the destruction of the Jewish Temples and other calamities that have befallen the Jewish people over the ages.
This is the first attempted rocket strike at Jerusalem during Operation Breaking Dawn against the Islamic Jihad terrorist organization.
