    Israel confined one million Arabs to their homes in the occupied lands to prevent clashes on Tuesday (January 1), the 26th anniversary of the first military operation by PLO (Palestine Liberation Organisation) leader Yasser Arafat's mainstream Fatah movement.

    Flag-waving Palestinians, many dressed in military-style uniforms, celebrated on Monday by marching through towns and villages. Soldiers at checkpoints turned back Arab who tried to enter Israel.

    Fatah has been in existence since 1958 and but did not begin guerrilla warfare against Israel until 1964.
