Scores injured in fresh night of Jerusalem clashes

Palestine Red Crescent says 80 people were hurt during clashes with Israeli police outside Jerusalem's Old City

Fresh clashes have erupted between Palestinians and Israeli police outside the Old City of Jerusalem, extending some of the city's worst unrest in years, as a former Israeli defence official warned of an atmosphere like a powder keg ready to explode at any time.

At least 80 people were injured, including a one-year-old, and 14 were taken to hospital, the Palestine Red Crescent said. Israeli police said at least one officer was hurt.
