8. I think they meant to say Nakba Day in the first sentence.

Wiki: Nakba Day (Arabic: ذكرى النكبة, romanized: Ḏikrā an-Nakba, lit. 'Memory of the Catastrophe') is the day of commemoration for the Nakba, also known as the Palestinian Catastrophe, when the Palestinian homeland and society were destroyed in 1948 and most Palestinians were permanently displaced. It is generally commemorated on 15 May, the day after the Gregorian calendar date of the Israeli Declaration of Independence on 14 May 1948.[1]

What a sad day in Palestine in 1948 and again today.
