(3 Jun 2021) Thousands of people marched through the streets of Jerusalem on Thursday in the city's annual Pride parade.
Waving rainbow flags and blaring music, throngs of people joined the procession amid tight police security.
Marcher Fabio Abulafiya said while "we are getting better and better in the tolerance aspect," more needed to be done to support the LGBT community.
A radical ultra-Orthodox Jew stabbed a 16-year-old girl, Shira Banki, to death at Jerusalem's parade in 2015.
The attack was widely condemned across Israel's political spectrum and the killer was convicted of murder.
A giant placard with a picture of Banki was positioned on the march route on Thursday.
Meanwhile, a few dozen protesters formed a small demonstration against the parade.
