Palestinians shout during clashes with Israel troops on Friday (Reuters)

Thousands of Palestinians on Friday commemorated "Land Day" by
marching near Gaza's border fence with Israel, apparently threatening
to break through the fence into Israel. In the resulting
confrontation with Israel's army, in which tear gas was first used to
stop the march and then live gunfire, 16 Palestinians were killed. In
addition, 1,400 Palestinians were also wounded on Friday, according to
Gaza officials, with 758 wounded by live fire and the remainder hurt
by rubber bullets and tear gas inhalation. No casualties were
reported among Israelis.

The original Land Day occurred on March 30, 1976, after Israel's
government announced plans to build new Jewish settlements. This
triggered Palestinian marches and demonstrations, and in the ensuing
confrontation with Israel's army, six unarmed Palestinians were
killed, and dozens injured. The original Land Day is a generational
Awakening era climax for the Palestinians, and is consider a highly
symbolic day, as the day when a new generation of Palestinian youth
first united to oppose Israel.

Hamas, the government authority of Gaza, and considered a terrorist
organization by the US and the EU, is calling the demonstration the
"Great March for Return," meaning that it's accompanied by demands for
"Right of Return," the demand that Palestinians be permitted to return
to the land that they lost in the Arab-Jewish war in 1948.

The violence continued on Saturday, when Palestinian youths hurled
stones at Israeli troops, drawing gunfire that wounded 70 people.

Hamas has announced plans to continue the demonstrations for six
weeks, until May 14, which is "Naqba Day" or "Catastrophe Day,"
commemorating the founding, in 1948, of the state of Israel. In
addition, May 14 is the day announced by the Trump administration when
the official US embassy to Israel will move to Jerusalem from Tel
Aviv.

Although there was a slight lessening of tensions on Saturday, there
are concerns that tensions will grow during the six week period. On
Saturday, Israel's military spokesman Brigadier General Ronen Manelis
said that the Palestinian events were "an organized terrorist
activity" by Hamas:

<QUOTE>"If it continues, we shall have no choice but to
respond inside the Gaza Strip against terrorist targets which we
understand to be behind these events."<END QUOTE>


However, Palestinian leaders are calling for revenge, and it's feared
that this could lead to a resumption of the 2014 Gaza War.

The 67 day 2014 Gaza war was a disaster for Hamas. When the war
began, Hamas's popularity surged to its highest levels, which is
similar to what happens to any society when a war begins, but before
there are setbacks. Militarily, the war was a disastrous defeat for
Hamas, since Israel's Iron Dome anti-missile system blocked almost
every Hamas missile entering Israel, while Hamas could put up almost
no resistance to the Israeli warplanes bombing Gaza. Hamas had to
agree to a ceasefire that was, effectively, a return to the status
quo ante
from before the war, something that it had promised it
wouldn't do. At the end of the war, Gaza was in ruins, and the Gaza
Palestinians were worse off than when the war was started.

Hamas is not known to have any new technology that would defeat
Israel's Iron Dome system and, without that, they would be unlikely to
wish to begin another war, and risk humiliation again. However, Iran
and Hezbollah are also preparing for war with Israel, and it seems
likely that Hamas would delay a war resumption until it could be
coordinated with those two entities. BBC and
