The Israel Police is preparing for Jerusalem Day events next week, including the Flag Dance (Rikudegalim in Hebrew) march from downtown Jerusalem to the Western Wall of the Temple and a state ceremony at Ammunition Hill, as well as the anniversary of the passing of the prophet Samuel at his tomb between Jerusalem and Giv'at Ze'ev.
Over the next week, many roads around Jerusalem will be blocked. A police statement said, "The police will show zero tolerance for any manifestation of physical and / or verbal violence, will act with all the tools at its disposal against the disorderly and lawbreakers, and will ensure that they meet the full extent of the law."
