Editor’s note: Palestinian officials say at least 55 people have been killed by Israeli fire in the latest round of protests.

The protests on Monday took place as the United States Embassy was formally relocated to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv, on the 70th anniversary of the formation of Israel. 

“What a glorious day,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared at a celebration just 40 miles away from the border. “Remember this moment! This is history! President Trump, by recognizing history, you have made history.”

“We are in Jerusalem and we are here to stay,” he continued. “We are here in Jerusalem protected by the great soldiers of the army of Israel and our brave soldiers are protecting the border of Israel as we speak today.”

Photographer Heidi Levine spent the day covering protests at the border in Gaza.
