| Ma'an – Two people were injured, including a French journalist, in Friday's demonstration against the separation wall in Bil'in, near Ramallah in the central West Bank. Local residents and foreign activists from France, Belgium and Ireland participated in the demonstration against the wall and the continued building of Israeli settlements in the West Bank. When the demonstrators reached the wall Israeli soldiers attacked them with tear gas and rubber-coated metal bullets. Many of the demonstrators suffered from the effects of tear gas and two demonstrators were injured by rubber bullets. A French journalist who works for a Saudi television channel was hit in the leg. He was treated at the scene. The Bil'in committee, who organize non-violent resistance action, called on people to take part in a march to be held on Sunday against Israeli discriminatory policies against Palestinians. |
