Fresh clashes between Israeli security forces and Palestinians have broken out around Temple Mount and in the West Bank just hours after a fragile ceasefire with Hamas was declared. Meanwhile Hamas said 'our finger is on the trigger' if Israel crosses a 'red line', pointing to violence around Al-Aqsa mosque as an example. Israel said its airstrikes destroyed more than 60 miles of Hamas tunnels, along with rocket batteries and a 'suicide submarine'. Turkey has welcomed the cease-fire in Gaza but is also calling for a two-state solution to ensure a permanent end to the conflict. Earlier, Israel had unleashed a new wave of airstrikes across the Gaza Strip as Hamas fired more rockets into Israel.
