"On March 30, 1976, six unarmed Palestinians were killed during protests against Israel's confiscation of land, marking a significant event in Palestinian history."
"The confiscated land, approximately 2,000 hectares, is comparable to the area from the southern tip of Manhattan to the start of Central Park."
"Every year, Palestinians commemorate Land Day by holding protests, vigils, and planting olive trees to reaffirm their connection to the land."
"Recent Israeli measures have expanded powers over Palestinian land, easing the sale of land to Israeli settlers and intensifying international criticism."
Land Day, observed on March 30, commemorates the 1976 protests where six unarmed Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces. The protests arose against the confiscation of 2,000 hectares of land in Galilee, part of Israeli policies to Judaize the region. Palestinians across Israel and the occupied territories participate in protests and vigils, often facing violent responses. The ongoing land seizures by Israel continue to provoke international condemnation, with recent measures expanding Israeli control over Palestinian land.
