Palestinians across the Occupied Territories rallied Tuesday to mark the Nakba, or “catastrophe,” when hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were displaced from their homes during the period around Israel’s declaration of statehood in 1948.

Dozens of Palestinians were treated for rubber bullet wounds after being shot by Israeli troops at different flashpoints.
