Tensions flared in Jerusalem during the annual Jerusalem Day march, celebrating Israel's 1967 capture of East Jerusalem. Ultranationalist Jewish Israelis chanted anti-Arab slogans and engaged in provocative behavior, leading to clashes with Palestinians. Police presence was significant but some officers were seen celebrating with marchers. A separate incident involved Israeli protesters storming a UNRWA compound. The march, which has previously ignited conflict, once again highlighted the deeply sensitive nature of Jerusalem's status and the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
