The international community has called on Israel and Palestine to end the attacks, which have left at least 40 people dead. The United Nations peace envoy to the Middle East, Tor Wennesland, said the conflict was "escalating into a full-scale war", reports the BBC .

Israel has declared a state of emergency in the central city of Lod as the conflict intensified. The fighting came after weeks of rising tensions sparked by violent confrontations between Israeli police and Palestinian protesters in a place in Jerusalem that is sacred to both Muslims and Jews.
