Palestinian officials say 20 people, including nine children, have been killed in Israeli attacks after rockets were fired from the territory towards Jerusalem.

The rockets were launched minutes after a Hamas ultimatum passed for Israel to withdraw forces from flashpoints in the city.

Hamas called it retaliation for Israeli "crimes and aggression".

This report from Sky's Middle East Correspondent Mark Stone shows pictures reported to have been filmed in the aftermath of an Israeli air strike.
