Officers fired tear gas, stun grenades and rubber bullets into crowds who had gathered for Friday prayers. Tens of thousands had gathered at the East Jerusalem mosque, Islam’s third-holiest site, to celebrate the ceasefire, which came into effect at 2am today. Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said that police had come under attack by stone-throwing Palestinians and had responded. The attack was incendiary given that previous police assaults on worshippers at the mosque, together with Israel’s attempt to evict residents of East Jerusalem’s Sheikh Jarrar neighbourhood from their homes to make way for Jewish settlers, had prompted the 11-day conflict, in which Israel pounded Gaza with hundreds of air raids and artillery bombardments, while Gaza’s ruling Hamas launched thousands of rockets into Israel.
