Anti-government protests continue in Israel decrying planned judicial reforms
Demonstrators have rallied for five weeks in a row to voice their discontent with the judicial reforms proposed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government.
Netanyahu faces a trial on corruption charges.
While he denies any wrongdoing, his opponents say the reforms are personally motivated.
Israeli forces are on high alert as preparations for Jerusalem Day Flag March is underway. Palestinian terrorist groups have issued threats against the Israeli flag march scheduled for tomorrow. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that the Jerusalem Day flag march will take place on its traditional route. Israelās far-right ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich are also likely to attend the march, as they have done in past years. Palestinian businesses in the area have been shut down and movement of residents have been limited in order to facilitate the procession and avoid confrontation. More than 2,000 police officers will secure the controversial march, along with more than 1,000 other security personnel who will ensure that other events in the capital throughout the day are adequately protected. The annual parade is organized by right-wing and religious organizations to commemorate Israelās unification of Jerusalem and the capture of the Old City including the Western Wall and Temple Mount, in the 1967 Six Day War.

Iran has said that it has successfully tested a 2,000 km-range ballistic missile named Kheiber..or Khorramshahr. The test has come just two days after the chief of Israelās armed forces raised the prospect of āactionā against Tehran over its nuclear programme. Iran, which has one of the biggest missile programmes in the Middle East, says its weapons are capable of reaching Israel and US bases in the region. Despite opposition from the United States and European countries, Tehran has said it would further develop its ādefensiveā missile programme. The missileās extended range, advanced guidance and control system, and improved structural features further solidify Iranās status as a formidable missile power. Kheibar is one of the most advanced missiles designed by the experts of the Ministry of Defense's Aerospace Industries Organization. It is a liquid-fueled missile with a range of 2,000 kilometers and a warhead weighing 1,500 kilograms with impressive strategic and tactical capabilities.
