Land Day: A Look Back at Palestine's Struggle

Palestinians observe Land Day on March 30 to remember the events of 1976 when Israeli forces killed six unarmed Palestinians protesting against the confiscation of 2,000 hectares of their land in the Galilee. Palestinians mark the day with protests, vigils, and tree planting to reaffirm their connection to the land, while Israel continues to seize Palestinian land for settlements, with the recent declaration of seizing 800 hectares in the West Bank. The expansion of illegal settlements has drawn international criticism and poses a threat to the possibility of a Palestinian state.
