Tensions have flared between Israelis and Palestinians at the annual March of the Flags in Jerusalem. Thousands of right-wing Israelis have marched through the streets of Jerusalem into the Muslim quarter of the Old City, to mark Israel's capture of East Jerusalem in 1967.

Police physically removed a number of Palestinians from the area, which is under Israeli occupation, according to International law.
