Renewed violence between Palestine, Israel (12 images)
On the 63rd anniversary of "Nakba," a term used by Palestinians in reference to the establishment of Israel in 1948, violence erupted between protesters and Israeli forces, with at least 10 dead and hundreds wounded. Speculation has arisen that the clashes are indicative of the "Arab spring" heading to Israel.
