Several hundred Israelis marched through the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah on Wednesday, as part of a Jerusalem Day flag procession to mark 44 years since the reunification of the capital.

The marchers were accompanied by heavy security forces, in anticipation of possible clashes between the participants and residents or left-wing protesters. The procession went on calmly, however, with no noteworthy confrontations.

The Israel Police said earlier Wednesday that it would step up patrols across Jerusalem to prevent possible clashes when Israelis marched through the largely Palestinian East Jerusalem, to mark the anniversary of Israel's capture of the area in 1967.
