In a demonstration against the building of the apartheid wall, 8 Palestinians were injured by the Israeli army attack. Two Israelis and one international activist were arrested. That morning, hundreds of inhabitants of Salfit marched in demonstration against the building of the apartheid wall on their agricultural lands.

Thursday at Salfit. The demonstration, to which joined international and anarchist activists, marched from the center of Salfit. However, before they succeeded to reach the lands on which the construction work is done, the Israeli occupation forces attacked the demonstration with tear gas and shock grenades and rubber coated bullets.

Tens were hurt by the the army attack. Five were hurt seriously from tear gas and three more were brutally hit when the army pretend they want to arrest them, but were let go after one of them lost consciousness and the other two needed medical treatment.

Two Israelis were arrested during the demonstration on the charge of entering closed military zone. The international activists which documented the army attack was arrested too and her camera was confiscated.

The arrested were taken to Ariel settlement town police station to stay there the night and be brought next morning to court.


* The escalation of the resistance along the route of the apartheid wall/fence worry the Israeli occupation authorities. They are especially bothered by the presence of the Israelis in the demos as it force them to use milder methods of suppression. The usual routine is to use rubber coated bullets only when the Israelis are not present.

The inhabitants of the village Bil'in expected a quiet protest demonstration of invalids and injured victims of attacks of the Israeli forces. However, already at the fringe of the village the army attacked us with tear gas and detained 3 of the Anarchists Against The Wall initiative and four of the villagers. They also threatened that any move towards the route of the fence in building will result with a curfew on the village. The invalids and injured demonstration - among them 10 in wheel chairs and few blind people, planned by the village as response to the injury to a soldier eye in the demo of last Friday. The aim was to counter the demonization of the villagers. The participation in the demonstration was small - less than 100. Part of it because it was in the morning of a middle of the week day. Part because at the preceding night the army "visited" 40 houses and threatened people not to demonstrate.

When the army started to shower us with tear gas some of the invalids fainted. The rest of the people retreated a bit, and the youngsters responded - as usual after the army dispersed nonviolent demonstration, with stones. As a result, instead of nonviolent demo they dispersed violently they got a long protracted battle with the youngsters.

After few hours passed, the 4 detained Palestinian villagers were released, and the 3 Israelis were taken to Givat Zeev police station and released at 17:00 on bail with commitment not to come near the Bil'in fence route for 10 days.
