Watch: Israeli nationalists march through Jerusalem's Old City

Despite sky-high tensions and a brutal Israeli assualt on Palestinian worshippers at al-Aqsa Mosque this morning, thousands of Israelis are marching in Jerusalem.

They are celebrating Jerusalem Day, the anniversary of Israel's victory in the 1967 war.

The vast majority of Israelis participating are right-wing religious nationalists, and the procession is always provocative - this year especially.

The route has been moved from the Damascus Gate, where Palestinians are massing after being assualted by Israeli police in al-Aqsa Mosque, and is now beginning at the Jaffa Gate.

Middle East Eye's Jerusalem bureau chief Lubna Masarwa is on the scene. Follow her live footage here:
