Police say 13 arrested over ‘isolated’ violent incidents in Jerusalem’s Old City

Police say they have arrested thirteen suspects involved in “isolated” altercations and violence in the Old City in the leadup to the Jerusalem Day Flag March.

Even before the march, which is now underway in the Old City’s Muslim Quarter, groups of religious Zionist youth were roving around the area, shouting anti-Arab chants and attacking reporters covering the event.

Police say Jerusalem District chief Avshalom Peled is now touring the area as marchers continue on to the Western Wall.
