June 5: A demonstration to Condemn Israel for Nakba Day Violence

As protests commemorating Nakba ended on 15th May, sources confirmed that Israeli military attacks on those protests left 16 killed and 400 injured.

On Nakba Day, 10 Palestinian refugees were killed and some 80 others   injured  when Israeli soldiers opened fire at protesters at the border fence near Maroun al-Ras at the Lebanese borders. Five civilians were killed and At least 30 more were injured when Israeli troops stationed  at the Syrian borders opened fire at protesters form the Syrian border village of Majdal Shams.

In Ramallah city central West Bank, 160 people were injured among them two   in critical conditions when soldiers fired live rounds and tear gas at protesters who gathered at the Qalandiya checkpoint separating Ramallah   from East Jerusalem.

While in Gaza one civilian were reported killed by Israeli fire in addition 86 were injured among them children and one journalist in critical conditions, when Israeli tanks and troops shelled a protest organized to commemorate the Nakba in Beit Hannon in the northern part of the Gaza Strip.

We condemn the Israeli attacks on the peaceful protests held in commemoration of the Nakba Day and expect international organizations to conduct “thorough and independent criminal investigations into the killings of protesters by military forces on May 15.”

Meanwhile, we are calling everyone to rally against the Israeli Embassy in London at 12 PM June 5 to condemn Israeli Violence on Nakba day.
