An Arab film crew were confronted by Israeli police over the weekend as they tried to film the Jerusalem Day march to mark the the capturing of the eastern side of the city 30 years ago.

Journalist Dalia Nammari and cameraman Muhammad Aishu say they were shooting for news channel RT on Sunday when they were stopped by police who pushed Aishu to the floor and took his camera.

The pair said that they continued to shoot on a smart phone but police once again stopped their filming.

“They took away my earpiece ... they are demanding from everyone – even journalists, to evacuate the area. Even Palestinians who live in the city can’t be present here because of the settlers’ march,” Nammari said.

The incident occurred as an estimated 30,000 Israelis marched through the Old City, including its Muslim quarters, to mark the anniversary of Israel’s taking of eastern Jerusalem.

Saturday’s march saw clashes break out between marchers and Palestinian residents protesting against the Jerusalem Day.

Palestinian journalist Nidal Ashtiyeh was left blinded in his left eye, when an IDF soldier shot him with a rubber bullet as he took photos of a Nakba Day protest by Palestinians to commemorate those Palestinians displaced by the creation of Israel.
