Israel says most were attackers and the rest were killed in clashes with Israeli forces. Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said some 2,000 officers would be sent to secure Sunday's march, which is expected to draw some 30,000 people celebrating the "unification" of Jerusalem following the 1967 Mideast war. Tensions were high ahead of Sunday's event, with follows an eight-month-long outburst of Israeli-Palestinian violence that has lessened recently but occasionally flares up. Ramadan, which draws tens of thousands of worshippers to a sensitive holy site in the Old City, could begin Sunday evening. On Thursday, the military said a knife-wielding Palestinian woman was shot and killed as she tried to stab a soldier at a West Bank checkpoint.
