Land Day
Land Day (Arabic: يَوْم اَلْأَرْض, romanized: Yawm al-ʾArḍ; Hebrew: יוֹם הַאֲדָמָה, romanized: Yom HaAdama), recurring on March 30, is a day of commemoration for Palestinians, both Arab citizens of Israel and those in the Israeli-occupied territories of the events of that date in 1976 in Israel. In 1976, the Israeli government announced a plan to confiscate some 20,000 dunams (20 km2; 7.7 sq mi) of land for state purposes between the Arab villages of Sakhnin and Arraba, of which 6,300 dunams (6.3 km2; 2.4 sq mi) was Arab-owned.
