Palestinians across world are marking on Friday the Land Day; with Zionist police and army are on high alert for mass demonstrations in and at the borders with the occupied territories.

Massive marches will take place on this day, the 30th of March with demonstrators from Asia, Africa and Europe will head to neighboring countries of Palestine - Jordan, Egypt, Syria and Lebanon – to gather in the nearest point possible to the occupied territories.

The marches had the name of Global March to Jerusalem (GMJ).

The Israeli occupation army in this day of 1976 (March 30) expropriated thousands of dunams of land in the northern occupied territories of the Galilee, in order to build its settlements. Bloody confrontations took place where six Palestinians were martyred and some 100 injured in the general strike and marches were organized.

ISRAELI “MEASURES”
In anticipation of mass protests, the Israeli army imposed a 24-hour closure on the territories late on Thursday, barring Palestinians from entering the occupied territories excepted for humanitarian reasons or medical emergencies.

Israeli police Chief Yohanan Danino has raised the nationwide level of alert and urged local Arab leaders to ensure all events were coordinated with the police, and to "prevent extremists from causing provocations."

Police also imposed an age limit on worshippers attending Friday prayers at the holy Al-Aqsa mosque compound in (al-Quds) Jerusalem's Old City, barring all men except locals over the age of 45. There was no restriction on women.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said thousands of police are being deployed across the country, with an emphasis on Arab areas in the north and on Jerusalem.

The marches on Friday comes less than a year after extraordinary incident took place on May 15, 2011, when hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees in Lebanon and Syria gathered at the borders with the Occupied Palestine, demonstrating their own revolution against the occupation, and marking the anniversary of the Catastrophe (Nakba).
