Adaisseh, Lebanon – Protests in solidarity with Palestine continue in Lebanon with marches planned on Monday as Israeli air raids killed nearly 200 people in Gaza.
Palestinian refugees and Lebanese civilians travelled to the border with Israel on Sunday for the third consecutive day, proudly waving Palestinian flags and banners of the Hezbollah and Amal movements.
Suzanne al-Akhtah, 39, from Ain al-Hilweh camp in Saida, Lebanon’s largest Palestinian refugee camp, shouted in rage from the hill she was standing on, expressing her longing to visit her home in Haifa, now within the borders of Israel.
“I’m coming here to see my country because I can’t step in my country, I can’t go back to my country, so I want to see it from here,” al-Akhtah explained to Al Jazeera.

The family of a 21-year-old man who the Lebanese authorities say was killed by Israeli fire when he and a group of others tried to cross the border fence with Israel held his funeral on Saturday, a day after he died.
The Israeli military said its tanks had fired warning shots at people who had damaged the fence. The incident took place during a protest on the Lebanese side to support Palestinians, amid a conflict between Israel and Hamas, the Islamist group which rules Gaza.
