A tense calm is reported in the Old City of Jerusalem after clashes between Israeli police and Palestinians erupted at a contested holy site.
Dozens of people were hurt when police moved in to quell violent protests against excavation work in the area.
Skirmishes in other parts of the city have also been reported.
The violence flared over the digging work, which protesters say threatens the foundations of the al-Aqsa mosque - Islam's third holiest site.
The compound containing the mosque is also revered by Jews as the site of their biblical temples.
The BBC's Tim Franks, in the Old City, says the area may now have been cleared and sealed but elsewhere in East Jerusalem the police have said that Palestinian youths have been throwing rocks and petrol bombs.
He says the police themselves have been hitting back with stun grenades.

There will never be peace for Israel as long as there are Islamists in ISRAEL or in the world, for that matter.
More rioting at the temple mount. Yawn.
People get used to seeing this and then just tune it out. Soon enough, some israeli group will destroy the mosque, then a few years/months/or even days later, the temple of Solomon will be rebuilt. More rioting.
Again, another middle east yawn. But it is on that temple that the Antichrist will declare himself to be God.
More yawning. Just some religious prophecy coming true. By the time it happens, the average observer would say it was all "inevitable".
