Israel’s borders erupted in deadly clashes on Sunday as thousands of Palestinians — marching from Syria, Lebanon, Gaza and the West Bank — confronted Israeli troops to mark the anniversary of Israel’s creation.
More than a dozen people were reported killed and scores injured in the unprecedented wave of coordinated protests.
Protesters climbed over the border fence as they crossed from Syria into the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights on Sunday.
At the Lebanese border Israeli troops shot at hundreds of Palestinians trying to cross, killing 10 protesters and wounding more than 100, the Lebanese military said.
