In pictures: Far-right demonstrates in Jerusalem

Around 300 far-right Israeli protesters gathered in the entrance to Jerusalem on Tuesday night, to protest following the attack on the synagogue earlier in the day.

The protesters tried to block a road in the area, and police used horses to disperse them, arresting six activists.

Demonstrators held up photos of Meir Kahane, the ultra-nationalist Jewish activist who found the Jewish Defence League and the Kach party in Israel, a far-right party which was was banned in the 1980's for its racism.
