Naksa Day

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Naksa Day (6 June) (Arabic: يوم النكسة‎) commemorates the Naksa ("setback"), the mass displacement and dispossession of Palestinians during and after the 1967 Six-Day War between Israel, Egypt, Jordan and Syria. The first mass displacement, known as the Nakba, took place during and after the 1947-1949 Palestinian Civil War and the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. This exodus is marked on Nakba Day.
