Beirut/Tel Aviv - Five Palestinians were killed and 30 injured in a 'Nakba Day' incident in southern Lebanon as Palestinian protesters tried to push their way across the border with Israeli on Sunday.

The demonstrators were shot at by Israeli troops when they defied calls by the Lebanese army and organizers of the so called 'peaceful rally' not to approach the fence separating Israel from Lebanon.
