Police used stun grenades on Wednesday to disperse hundreds of Palestinians protesting against an Israeli light festival held in the Old City of Jerusalem.<br /><br /> Many Palestinians view East Jerusalem as the capital of the state they want to establish – and they see the artistic event as forcing an Israeli mark on the Arab and Islamic identity of the Old City.<br /><br /> Some protesters were pushed to the ground during the scuffles with Israeli security forces, but no serious injuries were reported. Police said four men were arrested.<br /><br /> Palestinian youths staged a counter event at the Damascus Gate in the Old City, organising activities for children and dance performances.<br /><br /> The Light in Jerusalem Festival, during which art works are projected onto the walls of the Old City, is set to run until June 11.
