Organizers of Gaza border protests cancel Land Day event over virus concerns
2020-03-29
[IsraelTimes] Day after rocket fired from enclave, committee says Paleostinian flags should be raised and Israeli ones burned; calls for people to stay home, follow directives to contain outbreak

The committee responsible for organizing protests in the border region between Israel and the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Strip on Saturday announced the cancellation of a Land Day event, set to take place on March 30, over concerns it could facilitate the spread of the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
in the enclave.

"We call for everyone to adhere to all health and preventative measures announced by the Health Ministry and all official bodies to deal with the coronavirus pandemic," the committee said in a statement, according to Channel 13 news.

Instead, the organizers called for people to raise Paleostinian flags and burn Israeli ones, as well as observing a moment of silence and staying in their homes.

Land Day marks a 1976 decision by the Israeli government to seize thousands of dunams of Arab-owned land in the Galilee region of northern Israel.

In 2018 on Land Day ‐ March 30 ‐ Paleostinians in the Gaza Strip launched the "Great March of Return," a series of weekly protests and riots along the security fence. Israel maintained that Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw, appropriated the campaign for nefarious purposes, using the civilian protesters as cover for violent military activities.

The Gaza Strip on Sunday reported its first two cases of the virus ‐ two residents who had returned from Pakistain. The number climbed to nine on Wednesday, but has held since, according to the Hamas-run health ministry. The seven newly infected individuals were all "coppers" and said they were among the roughly 30 who had come into contact with the Pakistain returnees.

A total of 1,568 people in Gaza were being held in more than 20 quarantine facilities, while 1,205 were isolated in their homes, Gaza’s health ministry said last week.

Health experts have warned that an outbreak in Gaza would prove particularly deadly given the severe crowdedness and weakness of the healthcare system.

For the past three weeks, a period of calm had been holding in Gaza as authorities on both sides of the border have focused on combating the coronavirus outbreak.

However on Friday evening, bandidos bully boyz in Gaza fired a rocket toward Israel, triggering warning sirens in the southern town of Sderot and the surrounding area. A regional front man said the projectile apparently fell in an open area and there were no injuries or damage. The IDF retaliated later Friday night.
