The 30th of March marks Land Day in Palestine, a day when all Palestinians commemorate land loss and martyrs who were killed in 1976 by Israeli Authority while defending and protecting their lands.

Normally on this day; events are held in the country, where thousands of Palestinians gather to celebrate the day. Due to the current situation, the municipality adapted the event to be a family celebration at home, by first asking families and kids to prepare paintings and drawings about the Land Day, and share them on social media.

The municipality arranged a trail to visit neighborhoods in the city and sing together from houses' balconies different Palestinian national songs while raising Palestine's flag.
