Far-right marchers attack Palestinians as Israel marks taking of Jerusalem
- Thousands of far-right Israelis participated in the annual Flag March in Jerusalem on Monday, commemorating Israel's 1967 capture of East Jerusalem.
- The march followed National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir's visit to the Al-Aqsa mosque compound, a known flashpoint in Israeli-Palestinian tensions.
- Violence erupted shortly after midday in the Old City as young marchers from West Bank settlements harassed Palestinians, left-wing Israelis, and journalists while chanting slogans like "Death to Arabs."
- Israeli police largely did not intervene, citing the youth of the marchers under 18, and no arrests were reported despite multiple assaults and provocations during the day's clashes.
- The event intensified regional instability amid the ongoing 20-month Gaza war and escalating West Bank tensions, with Palestinian and Israeli leaders condemning the violence and provocative acts at Al-Aqsa.
