Gazan protesters said to mass at border fence

Unconfirmed reports have begun filtering in of protesters massing on the Gaza border fence in a repeat of a near-yearly Nakba Day occurrence.

The reports come a day after Hamas and Islamic Jihad terror groups in Gaza released a joint press statement calling on Palestinians to “activate” the intifada on Nakba Day.

The statement calls for Palestinian youths to confront Israelis on the borders of the West Bank and Gaza.
