3/01/2010 : Daytime military invasion
04/01/2010
At approximately 12pm today two Israeli military jeeps invaded Bilin village in the West Bank of Palestine. Jeeps had been sighted around 9am, south of the yellow gate (the entrance used by the army to enter the village during invasions) where weekly demonstrations are held on Friday. The jeeps turned onto a dirt road to follow a group of children, and began shooting metal tear gas canisters into the fields and olive trees where the kids stood yelling back. The invasion lasted about 15 minutes, and the soldiers continued firing tear gas at the kids when videographers and photographers arrived. At 2:30pm and again at 6pm military helicopters flew over the village.
