Palestinian protesters and Israeli security forces have clashed after Jewish settlers marched in the Arab neighborhood of Silwan in East Jerusalem.
The rightwing settlers, who staged the march on Sunday, want Palestinians removed from the area and their homes pulled down.
Al Jazeera's Jacky Rowland in Silwan said the demonstration was "extremely small" and that it was "difficult to measure the size of the impact".
"The fact that this march took place has been seen as extremely provocative; a highly aggressive gesture on the part of the settlers - people really hell-bent on driving Palestinians from their land," she said.
The settlers were hoping to walk for several hundred meters but police "seems to have circumscribed their march fairly tightly", our correspondent said.
"They were only able to walk 200 meters down the hill."
