A demonstration marched today after the Friday prayer carrying Palestinian flags and banners calling to end the Israeli occupation, stop the wall and settlement building, stop land confiscation and settler attacks, closures and roadblocks, and the release of all detainees. The demonstration was joined by internationals and Israeli activists.
The Popular Resistance against the wall is condemning the settlers’ attacks on the Palestinians civilians, Islamic holy sites, Palestinian houses and farms. This campaign of these attacks are effecting all aspects of life and should be confronted by popular demonstrations and mobilization, we can’t remain silent.
The protest today marched towards the wall singing slogans in attempt to reach the confiscated land behind the wall. The Israeli army fired teargas and sound grenades when the protesters tried to go through the gate, dozens suffered gas inhalation and three were shot with rubber coated steel bullets. The three: a child Samer Mohammed Samara(10 years old),Husam Kamal Alkhatib and Mohammed Ali Abu Saadi.
