Gaza border
Al-Azhar University in Gaza, where Hamas security forces cracked down on students protesting tuition fees. More riots are expected as Israel meanwhile, will celebrate its 70th Independence Day anniversary.
The March of Return, which begins on "Land Day", the national "holiday" protesting against Israel's alleged land grab from Arabs, is potentially lethal for both sides: the protesters and the soldiers.
Soldiers posted at the border regularly fire live ammunition at Gazans who come too close, but Israel this time is anxious about the possible presence of women and children in the danger zone.
The Palestinian Students' Union in Gaza condemned the excessive use of force and accused the policemen of preventing ambulances from reaching the wounded students.
It is also, by coincidence, the eve of the week-long Passover festival.
Khaled al-Batsh, part of the committee planning the protest, said tents would be located 500 metres (yards) from the border, just outside the buffer zone between Gaza and Israel.
The end will coincide with "Nakba Day" [The Catastrophe] on May 15, commemorating when approximately 760,000 Palestinians fled or were driven from their homes.
IDF forces arrested two Palestinians Thursday morning in the Kerem Shalom area near the border fence.

Sirens wailed and Red Alerts were sent out sending tens of thousands of people cross Southern Israel into nearby bomb shelters.
The mass rallies for a right of return of millions of Palestinian refugees to what is now Israel will last for six weeks and are said to be organized by Hamas and Hamas-allied factions.
"70 years ago we left and today we have made a decision to return to our country", he told AFP.
Officially, protest is being organised by civil society, but Israel believes Hamas and allied groups are behind the plans.
The families could stay in the tents for prolonged periods, with youth and community activities planned, according to the organizers.
At another site, young men were putting the finishing touches on dozens of wooden toilets, while large generators whirred into life.
Ahmed Abu Rteima, spokesman of the march said in an emailed press statement that the "March of Return is completely a peaceful procession and it is a procession of human right that demands an implementation of the right of return".
