At the weekly non violent protest at the village of Bil’in, located near the central West Bank city of Ramallah, nine civilians were injured due to Israeli army attacks on the protest.
Villagers, Internationals and Israelis marched after conducting the Friday prayers in the village towards the wall which Israel is building on the stolen village land.
Regardless of the fact that the Israeli high court of Justice, at the beginning of the month, ruled that the section of the wall built in Bil’in is an illegal structure and should be removed. The Israeli army nevertheless attacked the civilian protesters with batons, sound bombs and tear gas injuring nine of them.
Among those injured were Mustafa Al Khatib, Abdullah Abu Rahmah and Mohammed Khalil.
