The annual "Flag March" in Jerusalem, marking Israel's 1967 capture of the city’s eastern portion, turned violent as far-right Israeli Jews clashed with Palestinians and bystanders during a rally following Prime Minister Ben Gvir’s visit to the Al-Aqsa mosque. After midday, shopkeepers reported being attacked by young marchers as they tried to reopen their stores, spiraling into chaos in the Old City walls.
