Spent live ammunition shells found after weekly Bil’in protest
08/02/2008
On the 8th of February, around 70 Palestinian, Israeli, and international gathered in the village of Bil’in to demonstrate against the Annexation Wall. The illegal wall steals more than 60% of Bil’in village land. People marched peacefully to the gate in the wall, able to see their stolen land but not access it. On the 4th of September there was a Supreme Court decision which said the wall must move back, and give back half the land it took. This has yet to be implemented, and people are left at the gate to hold signs and chant.
