Majdal Shams: Two Palestinians were killed and five others injured when Israeli army opened fired during a protest called by the Palestinian activists to observe the 44th anniversary of 1967 Six Day war, news agencies reported on Sunday.
Israeli military was put on high alert ahead of the demonstrations. Activists in Israel, the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and neighbouring Arab countries have urged demonstrators to storm Israeli checkpoints and borders on the anniversary in a repeat of protests last month.
On May 15, thousands of protesters massed on Israel’s borders with Syria and Lebanon, and the Gaza Strip, trying to force their way across on the anniversary of Israel’s creation.
At least 10 people were killed in the Nakba Day protests, when Israeli troops opened fire on demonstrators. But hundreds of people still managed to breach Israel’s border with Syria, streaming into the occupied Golan Heights.
