Palestinians across the West Bank gathered in large numbers on Saturday to mark the 73rd anniversary of the Nakba, or “the Catastrophe,” which has come to define the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in recent history.

The protests commemorate the event in which some 800,000 Palestinians were expelled from their homes to make way for the creation of the state of Israel in 1948.
