Clashes between Palestinians and Israeli police in the contested city of Jerusalem have escalated into a broader conflict, with Israel striking targets in Gaza in response to rockets launched by Palestinian militants.

On 14 May 1949, Israel declared itself an independent country. What is the Israeli-Palestine conflict, watch this episode of Vardaat to know.
