And, we all remember what Naksa Day commorates, don't we?

From Wikipedia:

"Naksa Day (5 June 1967) (Arabic: يوم النكسة‎, Yawm an-Naksa, meaning "day of the setback") is the annual day of commemoration for the Palestinian people of the displacement that accompanied Israel's victory in the 1967 Six-Day War. As a result of the war, Israel took control of the Palestinian-populated West Bank and Gaza Strip, respectively annexed by Jordan and controlled by Egypt.[1]"

It really wouldn’t take much. Just a 20mm Vulcan gatling gun with lots of ammo.
