Burning anger: Palestinia­n women attack as border protests escalate

-

Palestinia­n women throw stones past smoke plumes rising from burning tyres during clashes with Israeli forces across the border following a demonstrat­ion calling for the ‘right to return’. They want Palestinia­n refugees to be allowed to go back to the land they fled or were expelled from during the 1948 war surroundin­g Israel’s creation. The Israeli government has long ruled out any right of return and says terrorists are using the cover of the protests to try to cross illegally into its territory.
