At least 15 Palestinians were injured in clashes with Israeli police at the al-Aqsa mosque compound in occupied East Jerusalem, medics say.

There are conflicting reports about what sparked the violence at the holy site, which is revered by both Muslims and Jews.

The official Palestinian news agency Wafa, external cites witnesses as saying that after Friday prayers worshippers stayed at the site to celebrate the ceasefire ending the 11-day conflict between Palestinian militants in Gaza and Israel. Israeli police, it adds, subsequently “raided the courtyards and started firing rubber-coated rounds and tear-gas at the worshippers”.

At least 15 people were hit by rubber-coated rounds, while many others were affected by tear gas or were beaten by officers, according to Wafa.

Palestinian medics told Reuters news agency that about 20 Palestinians were injured.

Israel’s police force earlier said that “riots broke out” after noon prayers. Palestinians threw rocks and Molotov cocktails at its officers, who fired stun-grenades and tear-gas in response, it added.

Iran's Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) have unveiled a new combat drone dubbed "Gaza" in a tribute to Palestinians.

The IRGC's leader, Maj Gen Hossein Salami, said in a statement that it had been named Gaza to honour "those in that land who stand today against the invasion and aggression of the Zionists [Israel]."

Cut off from many international suppliers, Israel's arch-enemy Iran has become a major developer of drones - often using technology that's reverse-engineered from captured US drones.

Amid concerns for their impact on regional security, last month America and Israel set up an "inter-agency working group," focusing on the development of drones and precision-guided missiles by Iran and its "proxies".

The veteran Palestinian politician, Hanan Ashrawi, has been speaking to the BBC, warning that unless the underlying issues of the conflict are dealt with then the ceasefire will only be temporary.

“There have been several ceasefires before, so-called ceasefires - [a term that is] misleading, by the way, because this isn't a symmetrical war between two armies or two states. This is a relentless, brutal assault," she told the BBC World Service’s Newshour programme.

“Now that there is this so-called ceasefire, I think that unless we deal with the root causes, unless we deal with the ongoing situation of oppression and aggression, which is the Israeli occupation, history is going to repeat itself.”

As we've been reporting, there have been fresh clashes around the al-Aqsa mosque in occupied East Jerusalem today.

It comes just hours after a ceasefire agreement between the Palestinian militant group Hamas and Israel ended 11 days of fighting, which was triggered by escalating clashes at the mosque compound.

So what's the significance of the area? It's one of Islam's most revered sites, but its location is also the holiest site in Judaism, known as the Temple Mount. The complex is a frequent flashpoint for violence between Israeli police and Palestinians.

Israel has occupied East Jerusalem since the 1967 Middle East war and considers the entire city its capital, though this is not recognised by the vast majority of the international community.

Palestinians claim East Jerusalem as the future capital of a hoped-for independent state.

Oxfam has added its voice to those calling on decision-makers to find a long-term solution to Israeli-Palestinian tensions.

"There must be a just and sustainable peace for all Israelis and Palestinians," says Oxfam country director Shane Stevenson.

"Alleged war crimes committed in each round of violence, by all parties, must be investigated and prosecuted by the International Criminal Court.

“This must be the last time Palestinians in Gaza are forced to again undertake the slow and painful process of rebuilding their destroyed homes, lives and livelihoods,"

Groups from both sides of the conflict have accused the other of committing war crimes. On Wednesday an Israeli civil rights group filed a complaint with the International Criminal Court against Palestinian militant group Hamas, saying it had intentionally targeted Israeli citizens with rockets.

More now on the clashes between Palestinian protesters and Israeli police on the al-Aqsa mosque compound in Jerusalem's Old City.

A statement by Israel’s police force says “a riot broke out” as soon as Friday prayers ended, with hundreds of young people throwing stones and Molotov cocktails at officers stationed at a nearby entrance.

In response, Jerusalem’s police commander ordered officers to enter the site and “deal with the rioters”, the statement adds. Witnesses say officers fired stun grenades and tear gas.

The 11-days of fighting between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas was triggered by days of escalating clashes between Palestinians and Israeli police at the mosque compound.

The site is revered by both Muslims, who call it the Haram al-Sharif (Noble Sanctuary), and Jews, for whom it is known as the Temple Mount.

An explosion at a pro-Palestinian rally has killed at least six people and injured 14 more in Pakistan, local media report.

Dawn newspaper, external quotes a provincial official, who said it happened at a bazaar in Chaman.

Authorities have closed off the area and local hospitals are treating the wounded. So far no group has claimed responsibility.

"Terrorist elements do not deserve any leniency. No one will be allowed to disturb the law and order of the province," the paper quoted Balochistan chief minister Jam Kamal Khan Alyani as saying.

Pakistan has strongly condemned Israel during the recent conflict. Leaders had called for peaceful protests and a day of solidarity on Friday to show support for Palestinians.

There have been fresh clashes between Palestinians and Israeli police in the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied East Jerusalem, witnesses and police say.

Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld tells AFP news agency that Palestinians threw stones at officers, and that they had begun “riot” supressing measures in response.

The deadly fighting between Israel and Palestinian militants in Gaza began on 10 May after weeks of rising Israeli-Palestinian tension in East Jerusalem that culminated in clashes on the al-Aqsa mosque compound, a holy site revered by both Muslims and Jews.

Hamas began firing rockets after warning Israel to withdraw from the site, triggering retaliatory air strikes.

Pope Francis has praised the truce between Israel and Hamas, and called on Catholics to pray for peace in the Middle East

"I thank God for the decision to halt the armed conflicts and acts of violence, and I pray for the pursuit of paths of dialogue and peace," he told ambassadors to the Vatican on Friday.

"May every community pray to the Holy Spirit that Israelis and Palestinians may find the path of dialogue and forgiveness, be patient builders of peace and justice, and be open, step by step, to a common hope, to coexistence among brothers and sisters," he added.

More now from that news conference with Benjamin Netanyahu who says the Israeli operation in Gaza has “changed the equation” with Hamas and will cause the militant group to be more careful in future about attacking Israel.

Mr Netanyahu describes the air campaign as an “exceptional success”, according to the Times of Israel, external. He says it destroyed Hamas’s underground tunnel network, turning it into a “death trap”, and also hit the militant group’s capability to launch rockets towards Israeli towns and cities.

He states that more than 200 militants, including 25 senior officials, were killed in Israeli strikes, adding: “And those who didn’t die know that we can reach them - above or below ground.”

Mr Netanyahu also insists the Israeli military went to “extreme” lengths to avoid civilian casualties, taking steps that no other country in the world had done.

The Palestinian health ministry in Gaza says 66 children and 39 women were among 243 people killed in Israeli strikes.

In Israel 12 people, including two children, were killed in Palestinian rocket attacks, its medical service says.

I’d be surprised if the ceasefire isn’t respected. Both Hamas and Israel had their reasons to stop and declare victory.

Anyone familiar with the previous wars between the two sides will see similarities in what they’re saying the day after. Israel is claiming to have done significant damage and "restored deterrence".

I write this in the car on the way to southern Israel. I can see Israeli army trucks derigging the batteries of the Iron Dome anti missile system that saved many Israeli lives. That shows confidence that the ceasefire will hold.

Hamas has broadened its claim to tell Palestinians it has won concessions in Jerusalem. It will now try to rearm, and replace the commanders Israel killed.

While they both need a period of quiet, nothing in the fundamentals of the Hamas-Israel nexus has changed. That builds in the seeds of the next war. That is not good news for civilians.

The only way to avoid it would be to negotiate a long term truce in and around Gaza and to make some progress towards a resolution of the wider Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

At the moment that does not look likely.

Mr Netanyahu has been explaining Israel's goal in launching the operation in Gaza last week. He says it was “to strike a severe blow against the terrorist organisations and to restore calm”.

"Not everything is known to the public yet, nor to Hamas, but the full range of achievements will be revealed over time,” he says, according to the Jerusalem Post newspaper, external.

"I can say that we did bold and new things - if it was necessary to do a ground invasion, we would have done it, but I thought we could achieve the goal in safer ways.”

Well, we are still awaiting a translation of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's first comments since the ceasefire, but from the social reporting of his remarks in Hebrew it's clear that observers are taking one of his main messages to be that Israel has dealt "heavy blows" to Hamas - and that not all of those blows are yet known to the public. We will bring you more as we have it.

Emergency workers in Gaza have rescued about 10 survivors and recovered five bodies from the rubble of what appeared to be an underground tunnel hit in an Israeli strike, medics and witnesses have told AFP news agency.

"The civil defence and the ministry of public works and municipalities are working to clear away the rubble," said Raed al-Dahshan, deputy head of Gaza's civil defence force.

"We are continuing to look for the missing under the debris. But it's tough work because we don't have the heavy equipment to search, so many injured are dying under the rubble."

The Palestinian news agency Wafa earlier reported that the bodies of nine people, including a girl, were recovered on Friday. The girl was found in the remains of her family home in Tal al-Hawa area south of Gaza City, it said. The eight others were found in al-Qarara, north-east of Khan Youis, it added.

Meanwhile, Gaza’s health ministry said the overall death toll from the 11 days of fighting had risen to 243, including 66 children and 39 women. Another 1,910 people were injured.

Both sides in the conflict - and their supporters - are claiming victory following the ceasefire. Lebanese Shia group Hezbollah has just praised Palestinians for a "heroic round of confrontation."

"Palestinian resistance has... established new rules that will pave the way towards the great coming victory," Hezbollah said.

It added that their "victory... will have extremely important strategic, political and cultural repercussions on the future of the conflict in the region."

Hezbollah, which is heavily armed and funded by Israel's arch-foe Iran, is the most powerful armed force in Lebanon alongside the Lebanese army and - along with its political allies - is an influential force in the government.
