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.
