Wednesday, 01 July_Today marks another Day of Rage across Palestinian territories. Palestinian people and activists have spilled out into the streets in the Gaza Strip to make their voices heard against Israel's scheme to illegally annex parts of the land it has already occupied, hours after Hamas fired a barrage of rockets into the sea.

Gaza rallies, Hamas rocket fire warn against Israeli expansionismThe protesters heeded a call by Gaza-based Palestinian resistance groups to stage "Day of Rage" rallies on Wednesday in protest against the Tel Aviv regime’s plan to impose its “sovereignty” over about a third of the West Bank, including settlements, as well as the fertile Jordan Valley.

The demonstrations were organized on July 1 to correspond with the date set by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to start his land grab scheme. 

Speaking on Tuesday, Raafat Murra, the head of Hamas media abroad, described the date as the "Palestinian National Day," saying it would confirm "the widespread Palestinian rejection of the Zionist plan to annex the West Bank."

Similar protests are to take place in other parts of the world, including across the United States and Europe in opposition to the Israeli move.
