The tensions are often high between Israel and Palestinians living in East Jerusalem, Gaza, and the West Bank. The threatened eviction of some Palestinian families in East Jerusalem has also caused rising anger. Since Monday, 26 Palestinian including nine children and a woman were killed in Gaza, most by airstrikes, Gaza health officials said. During the same period, Gaza militants fired hundreds of rockets toward Israel, killing two Israeli civilians and wounding 10 others. Palestinians want East Jerusalem - captured by Israel in the 1967 Arab-Israeli war, as the capital of a future state.
