Since March 30, when Palestinians began staging mass rallies near the security fence, more than 125 demonstrators have been martyred — and thousands more injured — by Israeli army gunfire.

Protesters demand the “right of return” to their homes in historical Palestine from which they were driven in 1948 to make way for the new state of Israel.
