The Palestinians mark Nakba Day on Tuesday to commemorate their “catastrophe (Israeli statehood), after Islamic Jihad in Gaza called on the masses to turn out for anti-Israel marches. The IDF is on elevated alert on the Gaza border and Jerusalem for violent eruptions. Civilians are asked to keep their distance from Gaza in case of snipers. The IDF’s rules of engagement were adapted for the day to allow battalion commanders to open fire in emergencies without prior permission from chiefs of brigades.
