Israeli forces are on high alert after violence erupted following the eviction of Jewish settlers from a building in the West Bank city of Hebron.
Several Palestinians were attacked, with homes set ablaze and mosques desecrated with anti-Muslim graffiti.
Israeli officials have also restricted entry by Muslim worshipers to the al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem.
Thursday's operation to remove the settlers took about one hour and involved at least 100 Israeli soldiers.
The settlers had refused to leave the house, in defiance of an Israeli Supreme Court order.
Clashes broke out across a number of West Bank towns as settlers vented their anger at the eviction.

115,000 Palestinians lives in H1 under Palestinian security control
H2 is under Israeli security control and is home to several hundred settlers and 35,000 Palestinians

The Israeli human rights group, B'Tselem, says settlers shot and wounded three Palestinians.
According to Israeli Haaretz newspaper, stones were hurled by settlers at Palestinian cars in Nablus, Ramallah and Hebron.
The Jerusalem Post reports that settler youths set fire to a number of Palestinian homes and cars.
There are fears the attacks could plunge the West Bank into further communal violence.
