Israeli media reporting that 10,000 police are being used for the expected Nakba protests. Officials say they will allow protests, but not violence.
But already Israeli military forces have committed violence by attacking a funeral precession, for a teenager that was killed by them a few days earlier.
The police units are being focused around Jerusalem (where the funeral was attacked), and northern Israel. This is probably because Egypt and Jordan are blocking protesters from reaching the Israeli border, but Lebanon, to Israel’s north, has not indicated that they will do the same.
