This is an entry from: Live: Israel and Hamas claim victory as fragile ceasefire holds
Al-Aqsa raids, Jerusalem day drama and tragedy in Gaza

A frenetic day has been bookended by Israeli raids in al-Aqsa mosque that injured hundreds of worshippers.
Fear of the notorious Jerusalem Day march further inflaming tensions in Jerusalem by going through the Old City's Muslim quarter were avoided when authorities re-routed the nationalist march.
But days of violence in Jerusalem have shifted to Gaza where Israel has announced a new military operation and air strikes that have so far killed 20 people, including nine children. Hamas earlier demanded Israel withdraw from al-Aqsa by late afternoon and, when it did not, fired a barrage of rockets towards Israeli towns and Jerusalem.
