Naksa Day

This page is subject to the extended confirmed restriction related to the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Following the 2011 Nakba Day demonstrations on 15 May in which violence ensued resulting in at least 13 Palestinians killed during border clashes, as well as an Israeli killed in Tel Aviv in an alleged ramming attack by an Israeli-Arab driver,[2] activists organized further demonstrations for Naksa Day on 5 June 2011.

Earlier that morning, Palestinians from the suburbs of Damascus were reportedly bused into the area and massed the border without interference from Syrian troops.

While the IDF reported 12 known injuries, Syrian television claimed 23 activists were killed and 350 wounded.

[7] Syrian-State-owned newspaper published an article warning Israel that 600,000 Syrian refugees march "to their villages and fields, from which they were removed by the occupation of the Golan Heights".
