STORYLINE
Heavy air strikes and rocket fire in the Israel-Gaza conflict claimed more lives on both sides Tuesday as tensions flared in Palestinian "day of anger" protests in Jerusalem and the West Bank.
Tensions started in Jerusalem last month and further escalated on May 10 when hundreds of Palestinians were injured in clashes with Israeli police in the Al-Aqsa Mosque Compound.
Deadly violence erupted across the West Bank amid a massive aerial bombardment in Gaza and unprecedented unrest among Arabs and Jews inside the country.
More than 200 people in the besieged Palestinian enclave were killed, including 61 children and 36 women according to the Palestinian Health Ministry
