Thousands of Palestinians have marked the 46th anniversary of Palestinian Land Day in the cities of West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip.

Local Palestinian media outlets reported that the Palestinians commemorate the Land Day anniversary through rallies, demonstrations, general strikes, and a series of events and activities such as planting olive trees near the borders with Israel.

According to Palestinian officials, the anniversary comes in the light of the acceleration of settlement expansion, land seizure, and demolition of Palestinian homes in the West Bank and Jerusalem.
