Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe 15th annual Jerusalem pride parade is set to begin amid heavy police security.
Parade-goers are lining up to enter the area of the event, as thousands of police officers, Border Police units and Magen David Adom paramedics stand by.
Earlier today, police revealed that the religious extremist who killed a teenager and injured several people in a stabbing attack at last year’s parade was arrested in prison over a plot for a fresh assault against participants at this year’s event.
Yishai Schlissel is serving a life sentence for the murder of Shira Banki, 16.
