The Jaffa branch of the Israel Islamic Movements conducted a march in the city Friday, complete with Hamas and Hizbullah flags and posters calling for the destruction of Israel. The march was ostensibly held to protest the ongoing excavation work in the area of the Kotel.



A spokesperson for the Islamic Movement said that the march was a "great success," and that many children from a local state-sponsored school had participated. Jaffa is part of the Tel Aviv Municipality and is frequented by many Jews who shop and work in the area.
