Three Palestinians have reportedly been killed in the West Bank - two shot by Israeli troops and the other by settlers.
Israeli soldiers shot dead Hashem Abu Marieh, 46, in the Palestinian village of Beit Ummar, near Hebron, medics said.
In the second shooting, Israeli settlers fired on a group of Palestinians near the northern city of Nablus, killing 18-year-old Khaled Oudeh and wounding four others after they threw stones at their car, security officials said.
Israeli soldiers arrived at the scene and their fire killed a third man, 22-year-old Tayyib Oudeh, the officials added.
Riot police near Temple Mount in Jerusalem The deaths came as Israeli riot police charged down skirmishes near the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, as fears of more trouble in the area sparked a lockdown on Friday prayers.
Only men aged over-50 are being allowed into Al Aqsa mosque after a massive protest in the West Bank last night resulted in the deaths of two Palestinians.
Israeli security forces have been put on heightened alert and deployed in and around Jerusalem's Old City after Palestinians declared today a "day of rage" following the violent and deadly clashes.
Sky's David Bowden, in east Jerusalem, said: "Riot police charged down the road a short time ago towards a group of youths who were protesting, throwing rocks.
"The riot police fired baton rounds and they arrested at least one protester who was dragged away with his hands behind his back.
Friday prayers are being held at the Al Aqsa mosque "A water cannon followed the police down, and actually they had set fire to a couple of massive tyres, and they used the water cannon as a fire truck and put that fire out.
"I don't want to over-egg this. It wasn't a great conflagration, but it gives you an idea of the tension here already."
Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld told Sky News: "We are taking all necessary precaution in order to prevent disturbances and if necessary, respond as we did last night.
"Once we receive clear indications that there are going to be disturbances on the Temple Mount it is necessary for an implementation of age limits in and around the Old City.
At least 150 people were injured in the mass protest "Therefore, if there are disturbances, we will deal with them in and around the different neighbourhoods in the Israeli-Arab villages, and not on the Temple Mount where it is more difficult.
"We are taking all of these measures in order to prevent people from being injured or possibly killed around this area."
Amid the growing tensions, Israel and Hamas have been trading more fire, while US Secretary of State and UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon pressed for a ceasefire as the Palestinian death toll rose to 815.
Hamas attempted to attack Ben Gurion airport in Tel Aviv with three rockets - two of which were destroyed mid-air by the Israelis.
A pregnant woman was among this morning's casualties in Gaza following a fresh wave of Israeli airstrikes.
Surgeons managed to save the 23-year-old's unborn child, but a 12-year-old and 15-year-old were said to be among those killed in the strike on the southern city of Rafah, health officials said.
More than 140,000 people have fled the conflict, while some 33 Israeli soldiers have been killed, and three civilians have died in Israel from rocket fire.
