Clashes, curfew declared in Ras al-Amoud

Fierce clashes have broken out in Ras al-Amoud, an East Jerusalem neighbourhood just south-east of the city's Old City.

Fires raged in the suburb's streets, as Israeli forces used megaphones to announce a curfew.

Earlier, protesters had hurled a Molotov cocktail towards an Israeli army Jeep - no injuries were reported.

The East Jerusalem neighbourhood comes under the remit of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's landmark order that new checkpoints be established at the entrances to the city's Arab neighbourhoods.
