It will commemorate young Palestinian martyr Muhammad al-Durrah.

"This meeting is held every year on the occasion of the martyrdom of 11-year-old Palestinian martyr Mohammad al-Durah and other martyrs of Palestinian children and adolescents.

Muhammad al-Durrah was martyred in the Gaza Strip on September 30, 2000, on the second day of the Second Intifada. Jamal al-Durrah and his 12-year-old son, Muhammad, were filmed by Talal Abu Rahma, a Palestinian cameraman freelancing for France 2, as Israeli forces fired bullets at them. The footage shows the pair crouching behind a concrete cylinder, the boy crying and the father waving, then a burst of gunfire and dust, after which the boy is seen slumped across his father's legs.
