Hundreds of Arab Israelis protested Tuesday in advance of “Land Day” rallies planned for Wednesday. The protests, under the banner, “Our martyrs and our land are in our hearts,” condemned Israel for demolishing illegally built Arab homes in Yafo and Lod.
Land Day marks the anniversary of massive Arab riots in March 1976 over the confiscation of land near Arab villages. Six protesters were killed in the original riots.
