Hamas began firing rockets on May 10 in retaliation for what it said were Israeli rights abuses against Palestinians in Jerusalem and following Israeli police clashes with worshippers at Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Gulf states have condemned what they called flagrant Israeli violations of Palestinian rights and called for a halt to hostilities.
