(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Islamic Jihad supporters held a rally in southern Gaza on Friday to commemorate the 44th anniversary of the Naksa.

The Naksa, or "setback," refers to the mass dispossession of Palestinians after the Six Day War of 1967, when Israel's army occupied the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

Demonstrators gathered in Khan Younis after Friday prayers to demand the right to return.
