Israel Day on Fifth Parade will feature heightened security measures

Janice Yu has more on preparations ahead of the Israel Day on Fifth Parade.The annual New York City parade for Israel that draws thousands of people is scheduled to hit the streets Sunday with heightened security and a focus on solidarity during the war in Gaza.

"This is not a mood of confetti and music," Treyger said. "This is more of a mood of unwavering, ironclad solidarity with hostages to bring them home, and also our unwavering love and pride in our Jewish identity." Backpacks, large bags and coolers will be prohibited. Spectators will have to pass through metal detectors and only be allowed to line the east side of Fifth Avenue, with police blocking off the west side.

NYC Mayor Eric Adams and NYPD Police Commissioner Edward Caban spoke on the security measures being taken in preparation of the parade.
