One man has been killed by Israel i troops and another has been injured as Palestinians gathered to commemorate " Nakba Day " in the West Bank .
The Israeli military told the ABC the group were lighting fires to cause a disturbance near an Israeli checkpoint. More than 700,000 Palestinians fled their homes in 1948, either because they were forced out by Jewish militias or were afraid of the fighting that was taking place between Israel and Arab armies opposed to its creation.
"I feel like the Nakba has never ended," says one woman, who did not want to be identified because of her government job.The war in Gaza had also cast a shadow over Israel's independence day events, which took place the day before.But the country's celebrations this year were notably muted.Many Palestinians are disenchanted with their leadership and stayed away."We live the Nakba every single day in Gaza and what's happening is so bad," she said.
