Israel Celebrates the 53rd Anniversary of Jerusalem’s Reunification
Last month Israel celebrated Jerusalem Day, commemorating the third day of the Six-Day War, on which Israeli forces captured the ancient, eastern part of Jerusalem. The celebration was held in the Old City, at the Western Wall, and was marked with speeches, dancing, and a film about the experiences of an Israeli paratrooper. Though social distancing measures required the celebrations to look a little different this year, Israeli enthusiasm was undaunted.
