East Jerusalem, Neighborhood in Jerusalem, Israel and Palestine
East Jerusalem extends across 760 meters above sea level, containing multiple residential districts with Palestinian and Jewish communities separated by stone walls and checkpoints.
The region changed control from Jordan to Israel during the 1967 Six-Day War, leading to significant modifications in its municipal boundaries and population distribution.
The streets of East Jerusalem contain traditional markets selling spices, textiles, and local foods, while religious ceremonies occur at numerous mosques and churches.
Visitors need to carry identification documents when moving between different sections of East Jerusalem, as security checkpoints operate throughout the neighborhood.
East Jerusalem maintains two parallel education systems, with Palestinian schools following the Palestinian curriculum while Israeli schools implement the Israeli education program.
