In pics | Thousands of Israelis participate in contentious 'flag march' in Jerusalem, rattles Palestinians

Israel deployed over 2,000 police on Thursday for a march by flag-waving Jewish nationalists through the main Palestinian thoroughfare in Jerusalem's Old City. Authorities say the beefed up security is a determined effort to ensure the march passes without violence.

Security tight in Jerusalem as thousands take part in Flag March

Flag-waving Jewish nationalists are set to&nbsp;march&nbsp;through the heart of the Muslim quarter of&nbsp;Jerusalem's Old City on Sunday in a parade that could re-ignite violence between&nbsp;Israelis and Palestinians.

The annual&nbsp;Jerusalem&nbsp;procession celebrates Israel's capture of the Old City in the 1967 Middle East war and draws thousands of cheering, chanting participants to its narrow, stone streets.

But for Palestinians, the&nbsp;march&nbsp;is a blatant provocation and a violation of one of the few places in the city, increasingly hemmed in by Jewish development and settlement, which retains a strong Arab flavour.

Hamas, the Islamist group that rules the Gaza Strip, fired rockets into Israel at the start of last year's procession, triggering an 11-day war that left hundreds dead.

On Saturday, the group issued a statement calling for Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank and&nbsp;Jerusalem, along with Israel's Arab minority - who are Palestinian by heritage and&nbsp;Israeli&nbsp;by citizenship - "to rise up on Sunday to defend&nbsp;Jerusalem&nbsp;and the Al-Aqsa mosque".
