Israel
celebrates 64 years as an independent sovereign homeland for the Jewish
people. Retaining that sovereignty and living in peace remain the
primary goals of the struggling state. While Israel finds new ways to
defend itself, both diplomatically and militarily, nations and other
groups continue to oppose its rule, challenging its life support. This
year, Israel faces new obstacles in regard to land, peace, and global
relations.
Land breaches
Battles for the land continue as Palestinians and Arabs living in East Jerusalem, the West Bank (Judea and Samaria), Jordan, Gaza, Syria, and Lebanon organize flotillas, flytillas, and marches towards Jerusalem. With the help of their supporters throughout the world, the primary objective is to breach Israel's borders. Another infiltration is planned in May.
Israel has built a new fence along its border with Syria aimed at preventing protestors from breaking into Israeli territory during Nakba Day rallies. Last year, at least 100 demonstrators were able to cross the Syrian border into Israel. The IDF is training its forces, especially snipers, to target protestors in a non-fatal way if they try to breach the border again.
