Protests and clashes involving both Jewish and Arab communities in Jerusalem continued Thursday night. 

At around 10 p.m., hundreds of Jews marched near the Old City chanting “Death to Arabs” in Hebrew, according to a video from Israel’s public broadcaster Kan. Some of the protesters acted violently, and an Israeli border police officer suffered a facial injury in the area, the outlet reported.
