</a></font>Syrian media sources confirmed that Israeli soldiers shot and
killed on Sunday 24 protesters who gathered on the Syrian side of the
border of the Israeli occupied Golan Heights marking the Naksa Day, while
at least 350 were injured. <a name="attachment37238"></a><br>
<br>
Thousands of Palestinian refugees and supporters marched near the border
marking the Naksa, the day Israel the illegally arrested the rest of
Palestine in 1967.<br><br>
The protesters were demanding their right to return to their homeland
when the Israeli forces opened fire at them. At least eight of the
wounded are in serious conditions. <br><br>
Eyewitnesses told media agencies that the Israeli army used live
ammunition, gas bombs and and phosphorous munition, and that the soldiers
were directly aiming at the protesters leading to this large number of
casualties. <br><br>
The army even set ablaze several areas near the border fence in at
attempt to prevent the protesters from marching to the border,
eyewitnesses added.<br><br>
A 23-year-old woman, identified as Enas Shreitih, from Al Yarmouk refugee
camp in Syria was also among the killed by Israeli fire. She is
originally from Yatta city, near the southern West Bank city of
Hebron.<br><br>
Meanwhile, the Hamas-led government of Ismail Haniyya in Gaza announced
mourning following the deadly Israeli military attack against the
protesters in the Golan, and said that all victims are the sons and
daughters of Palestine who refuse to remain in exile while Israel
occupies their homeland. <br><br>
