Lebanese and IDF soldiers shot over heads of Lebanese "Nakba" protesters who
crossed the Israeli border Sunday while army tank shells halted a Gaza march
that broke through Hamas checkpoints. Four people were killed in Lebanon.

Gaza sources said at least 40 Arabs were wounded by artillery fire. IDF
spokespersons have not confirmed or denied the reports.

Both Hamas and Lebanese security forces apparently were trying to prevent an
explosive situation as tens of thousands of Arabs protested on "Nakba Day,"
the Arabic description of the "catastrophe" of the re-establishment  of
Israel as a Jewish state in 1948.

The protests are a demand for the entire Jewish state to cease to exist.

The Nakba Day rioters are focused on the demand by the Arab world for the
massive immigration of five million foreign Arabs into Israel, based on the
claim that their elderly or dead relatives lived in the country before
fleeing in the1948 War for Independence. The Arab Legion encouraged them to
leave "temporarily" while Arab troops expected to annihilate the fledgling
Jewish state.

In the north, tens of thousands of Arabs were bused to the Lebanese border,
and several hundred or more managed to cross the border briefly until being
driven back by the presence of IDF forces.

De facto Gaza Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh provided verbal ammunition for
the marchers, stating that Nakba Day protests are staged "with great hope of
bringing to an end the Zionist project in Palestine."

In Jerusalem, police helicopters helped disperse Arab rioters who attacked
Jews with rocks. One firebomb was thrown towards Hadassah Medical Center at
Mount Scopus, where one person was slightly wounded.

The IDF cancelled leaves of absence for thousands of soldiers, who were
deployed throughout Judea and Samaria.

In Egypt, security forces prevented buses from carrying protesters to the
Israeli border. On Friday, Egyptian soldiers fired gunshots to disperse
thousands of protesters at the Israeli embassy.
