Israeli Forces Kill 2 Palestinians During Nakba Protest 
--------------------------------------------------------


 
Israeli forces have shot dead two Palestinians during a protest in the
occupied West Bank. Health officials said the victims were 17 and 22
years old. Palestinians held protests across the occupied territories
Thursday to mark the 66th anniversary of the Nakba, or "Catastrophe,"
when hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were displaced during the
period around Israel's declaration of statehood.
