Hundreds of demonstrators gathered at the Avenue Habib Bourguiba in Tunis coloring the streets in the colors of the Palestinian flag.
Banners such as 'The people want the independence of Palestine ' and 'normalizing relations with Israel, should be a crime' were carried by the demonstrators.
In another Tunisian city, Sfax, the Tunisian Student Association organized the Land Day program in the city’s main square.
Hundreds carried Palestinian flags and keffiyehs, a symbol of Palestinian independence.
Demonstrations that began last Friday in the Gaza Strip are part of an annual Palestinian commemoration of the deaths of six Arab Israeli citizens killed by the Israeli military in 1976, during protests against government land confiscations in northern Israel.
16 Gazans were martyred and hundreds were injured last Friday when Israeli snipers fired indiscriminately at the protesters using live rounds. The peaceful demonstration quickly turned into a bloody chaos. According to Palestinian medical sources, those killed or injured had "bullet wounds in the upper part of their bodies".
The rallies were the start of a six-week protest that culminates on May 15, the day the Palestinians call Nakba, or Catastrophe, when Israel was founded.
Protesters are demanding Palestinian refugees be allowed the right of return to towns and villages their families fled, or were driven out of, when the illegitimate regime of Israel was created in 1948.
