It doesn't seem to me like it's the same story, although obviously they're linked. The Sky story is about violent clashes in Jerusalem and the BBC story is about Israeli air strikes following a rocket attack from the Palestinians.

Sorry that you are so uninformed. The second story is based on a reaction to the first and makes no connection.

The BBC story does mention the violence in Jerusalem that the first story is about. If you can't even be bothered to read your links, I don't think you should be telling other people they are uninformed.
