Comment

I am watching Almanar covering nakaba day,
 In Egypt,Rafah convoys turned back, thanks to the military councill, and to our "Brothers", to lay siege to Israeli embassy in commemoration of Nakba

Amman
As expected, Nothing serious in Jordan, the IOF sub-contractor delt with those who tried reach the Zionist embassy. Most likely  Jordan "Brothers" are still in Ramtha, they lost the direction, the way to Alqds passes throught Damascuss.
BTW, an Islamic Emirates is declared in TEL-KALLAKH at Lebanese borders, Some Lebanese "brothers" crossed the borders to "Liberated" emirate

‘Right of Return’ to ‘Return in Practice’

In Syria, IOF, openned fire on Uprooted Palestinians and syrian demonstrators who crossed the mined vally seperating Liberated Ein Alteena and Occupied Majdal Shams at Gollan Front,


IDF besieges Majdal Shams after the entry of demonstrators from the liberated side. So far three martyred, fifty one injured in Majdal Shams clashes, the area declared "colsed military zone"


 In Gaza, IOF, IDF injures 2 Nakba Day protesters on Gaza borders three demonstrators arrested, 60 casaulties at Beit Hanoon crossing.



In West Bank, four Palestinians arrested in Bethlehem, many casualties at Qalandia crossing, 13 shoot by snippers at roof tops with live fire, tens injured by tear gas.



In Maroun al-Ras In Lebanese Army fires in air to prevent protestors from getting close to the fence on the border line.
They , about 200 hundred, are now at the fence stonning the Zionist Devil.
So far no reaction from IOF.
They did it
I see an Ambalance
Several casualties near the border line upon IDF fires towards peaceful protestors in Maroun el-Ras.




Seven Martyred, 118 wounded, but the uprooted boys are still there at the fence throwing stones
IDF declares the Lebanese border's a closed military zone, Holds Syrai responsible


IDFAlert for Nakba Day Demonstrations

Local Editor
A few months ago, as the number of Facebook users who pressed “Like” on pages that called for a third intifada and large-scale demonstrations on Sunday increased, the IDF began to sit up and take notice.

May 15 is the day the Palestinians commemorate the Nakba, the “catastrophe” that was the establishment of the “State of Israel.”

At first, the IDF and the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) downplayed the significance of the Facebook pages and the impact they would have on the ground. But then the entire Middle East shook, and Facebook proved to have extraordinary power to mobilize the masses in Cairo’s Tahrir Square as it helped opposition groups topple President Hosni Mubarak.

As the number of “Likes” continued to grow and eventually reached around 350,000 on over 100 different pages, the IDF and Shin Bet decided to see if it was possible to analyze the people who were pledging their support for the demonstrations – who they were, what their background was and how committed they were to the cause.

The rough assessment that evolved from the Facebook analysis was that the demonstrations would not be as bad as some had initially expected. Yes, the Palestinians will march. But no, they will likely not come armed to the demonstrations or open fire at Israeli troops.

This does not mean that the IDF is not taking the weekend of potential demonstrations seriously. The opposite is more accurate, as can be seen by the massively increased deployment of IDF units and Border Police companies in the West Bank to reinforce battalions there – the largest such deployment in the West Bank in the past three years.

Nearly 10,000 border police officers were expected to be stationed throughout the country Sunday in cities with Arab and Jewish populations and areas where conflict is expected in light of “Nakba Day.”

Police were asked to show restraint and not release live fire, unless there existed a real threat to human life.

CENTRAL COMMAND

Increased security in east Jerusalem and surrounding areas was expected to continue for the next few days.

Demonstrators on Sunday morning threw stones at Border Police forces near a gas station in Issawyia as part of the 'Nakba Day' protests.

The Israeli forces, with the aid of a helicopter, managed to disperse the stone-throwers. There were no reports of injuries in the incident.

Tensions rose in east Jerusalem this weekend following the shooting death of a Palestinian youth during a riot in the capital’s Silwan neighborhood.

At police headquarters in Jerusalem on Saturday evening, Insp.-Gen. Yochanan Danino spoke with intelligence officials and commanders from the Border Police, the Operations Branch and the Jerusalem district, and drew up final plans for Sunday, Jerusalem Post reported.

“We will allow for demonstrations and we will act with restraint. But we will not allow violent disturbances,” Danino said.

Jerusalem police and Border Police units remain deployed in force in east Jerusalem, and are on standby in case of further rioting, Jerusalem Post quoted spokesman Micky Rosenfeld as saying.

Officers are also deployed in larger than normal numbers in the North, including near Umm el-Fahm and in the surrounding Wadi Ara region.

Crossings with Judea and Samaria would be temporarily closed to Palestinians on Sunday, the IDF announced on Saturday night. The closure began on Saturday at 11:59 p.m. and will be lifted on Sunday at the same time.

Persons in need of medical attention, humanitarian aid or exceptional assistance will be permitted to pass for care, with the authorization of the civil administration.

NORTHERN COMMAND

Northern Command sources say there are expectations that Palestinians in Lebanon will travel to the border to participate in protests, Jerusalem post said.

IDF troops will be deployed in large numbers throughout the West Bank and along the border with Lebanon on Friday, amid expectations that massive demonstrations will break out on both fronts ahead of Nakba Day (“the day of the catastrophe”.)

The IDF began reinforcing troops in the West Bank earlier this week, here several Palestinian groups have called for large demonstrations along Israel’s various borders ahead of Nakba Day, which is the Palestinian commemoration of the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948.

Expectations are that the demonstrations will start on Friday, and last until Sunday.

Expected hotspots in the West Bank include the Kalandiya Checkpoint outside of Jerusalem, near the Ofer Prison off Road 443, as well as Nablus, Tulkarm and Ramallah.

Officers from the IDF’s Northern Command spoke with UNIFIL this week, and warned of severe consequences if Palestinian demonstrators try to damage the border fence between Israel and Lebanon during the demonstrations.
