The big march on Israel turns out to be not so big. News today reported, "After reports that Palestinians in Lebanon cancel march commemorating "setback" in 1967 Six-Day War, reports Syria protest postponed." "On Friday, a high-ranking Palestinian source told Lebanese newspaper the Daily Star, that the Lebanese "Naksa Day" march would be held off after pressure from the Lebanese authorities."
However, there was some action from Syria today. "

- Demonstrators start to gather along Syria's border with Israel.
"Golan Heights: Israeli forces opened fire on Sunday as Palestinian demonstrators in Syria neared an Israeli border fence on the Golan Heights in a protest marking the 44th anniversary of the 1967 Middle East war. Syria state television said two protesters were killed. An Israeli military spokesman in Tel Aviv said soldiers, who had been on high alert along the Syrian and Lebanese frontiers in anticipation of possible border-breaching protests, fired warning shots. He gave no casualty figures." So far, today turned out to be nothing like the Arabs wanted this march to be.
