Huge turnout as Jerusalem Pride Parade begins in capital
The Jerusalem Gay Pride Parade launches in the capital under heavy security, marching from Liberty Bell Park toward Independence Park through the city center.
Over 1,000 police officers are securing the event, overseen by Israel Police Commissioner Roni Alsheich.
Officials expected some 4,000 marchers, but turnout swelled ahead of the start of the march, with estimates ranging from 12,000 to 20,000 at its start.
