Palestinians mark 46th anniversary of Land Day, organize rallies to commemorate victims
Occupied Palestine (QNN)- Palestinians mark today the 46th anniversary of Land Day, by organizing rallies in several Arab towns inside the Green Lines.
Israeli occupation forces killed six Palestinians and injured hundreds on March 30, 1976.
Palestinians were protesting that day against Israel’s expropriation of thousands of donums of their lands.
Since then, this day has been known as Land Day.
The Higher Arab Follow-Up Committee called on the Palestinians to participate in a march that started this afternoon.
The march has just started in the town of Sakhnin and will move then to Arraba and end at Deir Hanna.
It said Palestinians mark Land Day this year as the Israeli occupation escalates its aggression in the Al-Naqab desert.
It added that instead of expanding the area of the Arab cities and towns, ‘Israel’ continues to build illegal settlements.
Today, as a part of the march, people have also visited graves of their sons killed by the occupation forces.

On this day, Palestinians emphasise their resistance to Israeli occupation and steadfastness.
They remind the world that Israel’s colonisation of their land has been continuous since the establishment of the so-called ‘Israel’.
Nine Palestinians were killed and others wounded after Israeli air and artillery strikes hit civilian homes, a police vehicle, and a patrol in Gaza. The attacks spread across northern and southern areas, raising further concern over continued violations despite the ceasefire.
Families of Syrian and Palestinian victims gathered in Damascus, especially in Yarmouk Camp and Tadamon, to mark the arrest of Amjad Youssef, a key perpetrator of the 2013 horrifying massacre, in which Assad regime forces executed more than 280 civilians, including women and children.
The number of amputees in Gaza Strip, already between 5,000 and 6,000, is expected to rise as Israel continues to restrict the entry of much-needed aid, including medical supplies, into the war-torn enclave, a humanitarian organization has warned. The alert comes after two years of genocide and despite the so-called US-backed ceasefire.
