Three injured and dozens suffered tear gas inhalation during the Bil'in Weekly Demonstration
Friday, 23rd 2009
The residents of Bil'in today gathered after the Friday prayer in an act of solidarity with the people of Gaza and insisting that the village is still resisting the wall and settlement building. They were joined by international activists and the Israeli Anarchists Against the Wall, all opposing the war on Gaza.
The protesters carried all the Palestinian party flags as call for national unity to stand against the Israeli occupation. Protesters put on masks of Mahmoud Abbas and Ismail Haniyeh and walked toward the wall holding hands as a hopeful symbol that the Palestinian internal conflict will end and they will unite against the Israeli occupation once again.
The protest marched toward the wall which is built on Bil'in's land. The Israeli army was behind concrete blocks. When the protesters opened the gate, the army immediately fired tear gas canisters. The army chased the demonstrators back to the village using rubber coated steel bullets and tear gas. Dozens suffered tear gas inhalation and three were shot with live bullets the three: Spain journalist, and Japanese journalist his name Kazuaki Kiryu and Khames Fathi Aburahma was shot in the head with a live bullet shot from the new type of bullets called 0,2 the two has been transferred to Sheikh Zayed hospital in Ramallah for treatment.
