At least 42 Palestinians were injured as the fresh clash broke out on Thursday between Palestinian protesters and Israeli police at the entrance to the al-Aqsa Mosque, in Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip. 

The Palestinians were protesting Israel's placement of metal detectors at the entrance to the holy site after a deadly attack there last week in which three Israeli Arab gunmen killed two Israeli police officers before they were shot and killed at the entrance to the site.

Also on Thursday, the Israeli military said it shot and killed a 26-year-old Palestinian attacker who tried to stab soldiers at a checkpoint near the West Bank city of Hebron.
