Land Day commemorates the events of March 30, 1976, when a general strike took place in response to the Israeli government's announcement of a plan to expropriate lands in the Galilee for official use. Protests took place throughout the Arab settlements in Israel, Gaza Strip, West Bank, and refugee camps for Palestinians in Lebanon. The riots were suppressed by the Israeli Defense Forces and Police. Six Arab citizens were killed, and about 100 were injured.

On Land Day, people commemorate those who have given their lives in the struggle to hold onto their land. Many Palestinian residents of Israel use it as an opportunity to express their political discontent and organize protests, general strikes, and demonstrations.
