In a historic, co-ordinated protest at the Lebanese, Syrian, West Bank and Gazan borders with Israel, Palestinian refugees crossed the border, and many were killed. On the 63rd commemoration of the Nakba (Arabic: Catastrophe), Palestinians co-ordinate a historic demonstration. Protests at the Lebanese, Syrian, West Bank, and Gazan borders and inside Egypt took place. Many died as a result of live fire, and hundreds were injured both from Israeli forces and others such as the Egyptian and Lebanese armies. The Real News’ Lia Tarachansky reports from the Qalandiya refugee camp in the West Bank where thousands demonstrated and summarizes the historic day in which refugees succeeded in breaking through the Syrian border and reuniting with Palestinians in the Golan Heights.
