JERUSALEM, May 13 (UPI) -- Police in Israel said they were concerned activities marking the Palestinian "Nakba Day" mourning Israel's statehood may lead to violence and riots.
Palestinians have been texting thousands of messages to people in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, calling for participation in events Friday and Saturday in advance of Nakba Day and to possibly ignite a third intifada, or uprising, Ynetnews.com reported.
