The violent clashes reportedly took place near the Damascus Gate of Jerusalem’s Old City, with some 300 far-right Israeli activists and hundreds of Palestinians taking to the streets. The Israelis chanted “Death to the Arabs,” and the police had to use water cannons and stun grenades to separate the conflicting groups.
