On Friday at midday the villagers of Bil’in, a village located near Ramallah in the centre of the west bank along with their international and Israeli supporters conducted their weekly protest against the Israeli wall Israel is building on the village land.
After the Friday prayers, the protest marched from the village towards the gate of the wall, that separates the villagers from their land. As soon as the protest arrived to the gate, the Israeli troops stationed there showered them with sound bombs, tear gas and rubber coated steel bullets.
A number of civilians were injured including an Israeli journalist called Israel. The man sustained wounds to his leg after being hit directly with a rubber coated steel bullet.
