Nationalist Israelis mark Jerusalem Day at Western Wall
10 May 2021 19:48 BST
Hundreds of nationalist Israeli youth gathered at the Western Wall to mark Jerusalem Day, the anniversary of Israel's victory in the 1967 war.
Crowds made their way into the plaza after a march through parts of Jerusalem's Old City, under the protection of Israeli police.
The celebrations are seen as highly provocative, particularly as tensions have been high in recent days as a number of Palestinian families of the Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood of occupied East Jerusalem face eviction.
A tense atmosphere has gripped the region, particularly after Israeli forces stormed the al-Aqsa Mosque this morning, using snipers and tear gas.
According to the Palestine Red Crescent, hundreds of people were injured and dozens hospitalised.
