Gaza City - MENA
Israeli occupation forces opened fire on a peaceful protest on the eastern borderline of Khan Yunis city, southern the Gaza Strip, on Sunday.
The protest was marking "Land Day", which commemorates the events of 1976.
Eyewitnesses said the Israeli forces opened fire at dozens of protesters who approached the border fence but no injuries were reported.
On 30 March 1976, thousands of Palestinians gathered to protest Israeli government plans to expropriate 60,000 dunams of Arab-owned land in the Galilee. In the resulting confrontations with Israeli police, six Palestinians were killed, hundreds wounded, and hundreds jailed. In the intervening years, those events have become consecrated in the Palestinian memory as Land Day.
