Tear gas

The clashes erupted after the funeral of a 13-year-old boy killed during clashes with the Israeli military.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said on Tuesday he had no interest in an "escalation" of violence and is ready to talk with Israel.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned on Monday that he will use a "strong hand" to quell violent Palestinian protests and deadly attacks.

The protesters, waving Pakistani and pro-militant flags and chanting pro-independence slogans, hurled stones at government forces, who retaliated with tear gas.

The tensions started as a court two weeks ago upheld a colonial-era law banning the slaughtering of cows, which are worshipped by Hindus, and the selling beef in the region - a decision resented by Muslims.

Children were screaming and visibly traumatised after being caught up in tear gas, fired to repel the migrants who were trying to reach the EU.

A number of migrants were reported injured.
