Preparations were underway in Israel on Sunday as the Jewish state was set to celebrate Jerusalem Day, marking 58 years since the June 1967 reunification of the holy city and liberation of Judea and Samaria.
The festivities were set to kick off at sundown with a public prayer service and the unfurling of a giant Israeli flag at the Western Wall Plaza in the Old City, attended by religious and public officials.
Jerusalem Day celebrations are scheduled to continue throughout the day on Monday with a festive morning prayer at the Western Wall and a special broadcast for elementary-school students, followed by the iconic Flag March with tens of thousands of participants expected to join.
