The Israeli occupation forces on Tuesday evening rolled into the eastern borders of Gaza city and re-installed the barbed wire after anti-occupation youth removed parts of it during Friday’s mass-protests.
A flock of Israeli military vehicles moved 100 meters into the besieged Gaza Strip and repaired the removed parts of the border fence.
On Friday Palestinian anti-occupation youth removed parts of the barbed wire separating the Gaza Strip from territories occupied in 1948 east of Shuja’iya neighborhood in Gaza.
Over the past several weeks thousands of Palestinians have staged peaceful protests along the border fence demanding hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees who were displaced from their homes be allowed to return.
The so-called “ Great March of Return” is set to climax on May 15 when the Palestinians will mark 70 years since the “nakba” (“catastrophe” in Arabic) which culminated in the displacement of thousands of Palestinians from their motherland—Palestine.
