About 3,000 gays have marched through Jerusalem in their annual Gay Pride parade. The march and rally in a public park that followed proceeded without incident.
Police said they had about 2,000 officers on duty to protect the marchers from protesters.
Past marches have been marred by violent demonstrations by ultra-Orthodox Jews. This year there were only small-scale protests away from the march route on Thursday. Police said one protester was arrested.
