Dozens -- possibly hundreds -- of people were injured on Friday as clashes continued in East Jerusalem after the funeral of a Palestinian teenager.
The charred and mutilated body of 16-year-old Mohamed Abu Khdeir was found in a forest just outside Jerusalem on Wednesday. The boy is believed to have been abducted and murdered by Jewish extremists in a revenge killing, following the abduction and murder of three Israeli teens whose bodies were discovered earlier in the week.
Tens of thousands of people showed up for the funeral of the Palestinian teen in East Jerusalem on Friday, and mourners carried the boy's casket through the crowd to a cemetery.

Israeli security forces reportedly fired teargas and rubber bullets at protesters in the crowd and demonstrators elsewhere in East Jerusalem.
A day earlier, CCTV footage emerged seeming to show the moment the Palestinian boy was abducted.
The murders of the four teenagers, and the subsequent violence, has led to the gravest crisis between Israelis and Palestinians in recent memory.
Earlier Friday, Hamas said it was ready to halt rocket attacks Israel if the Israel military ceased its air raids on Gaza. According to the BBC, Egyptian intelligence officials had brokered a ceasefire.
However, rockets and mortars continued to hit Israel, and Israel continued to fire artillery shells into Gaza.
