Damascus Gate: Faces Of Jerusalem's Old City

JERUSALEM, ISRAEL - NOVEMBER 27: (EDITORS NOTE: Image shot black and white. Color version not available.) People pass through Damascus Gate, one of the main entrances to the Old City of Jerusalem on November 27, 2014 in Jerusalem, Israel. The current gate, which was built in 1537 under the rule of Suleiman the Magnificent of the Ottoman Empire, is the daily entrance and exit for thousands of Jews, Muslims and Christian residents of Jerusalem. Nine Israelis have been killed in a series of stabbings, shootings and hit-and-run attacks in Jerusalem over the past month, unsettling the ancient city of Jerusalem where a diverse mix of religions have lived side by side for thousands of years. The tension and violence on the streets of the city is threatening to further isolate communities and to encourage extremist politicians to exploit the situation. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)
