An Italian tourist was killed and five people were wounded in a car ramming in Tel Aviv that came hours after two Israeli sisters were killed in a shooting attack in the occupied West Bank, heightening Israeli-Palestinian tensions
Friday prayers passed without major incident and apart from some stone-throwing, police said the situation had been quiet.
The site in Jerusalem's Old City, holy to both Muslims and Jews, who know it as Temple Mount, has been a longstanding flashpoint, notably over the issue of Jewish visitors defying a ban on non-Muslim prayer in the mosque compound. One official with a Palestinian militant group told Reuters they were ready to keep the calm should Israel do the same, with the group having "made its point". A Qatari official said Qatar was helping international efforts to de-escalate the situation.
In the aftermath of the overnight strikes in Gaza, streets were largely empty except for some taxis and emergency vehicles. In Gaza City's Tufah neighbourhood some houses and a children's hospital were damaged.
