'Great Return' march in Gaza
The 'Great Return March' is a six-week long protest organized by Palestinian activists in Gaza strip who are demanding the right for refugees from the 1948 Arab-Israeli war to return to their homeland, which is now occupied by Israel. The protests, taking place along the Israeli-Gaza border, have been met with a harsh crackdown by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), resulting in dozens of deaths and injuries among Palestinians.
