RAMALLAH, (PIC)-- Foreign solidarity activists joined the Bilin villagers in their weekly protest march on Friday against the Israeli separation wall that cut off the villagers from their land, which was confiscated to build the racist wall.
Local sources said that Israeli occupation forces (IOF) used teargas and rubber bullets to quell the march injuring a 19-year-old youth, who was hit with a teargas canister in his back. Many others were treated for breathing problems.
The participants' march, which coincided with the first day of Eidul Fitr raised Palestinian flags and photos of the detainees held by the Israeli occupation for organizing the anti wall rallies.
They also hoisted placards denouncing the occupation's colonialist schemes in Palestinian lands and demanding the release of all detainees.
Demonstrators marched in the village streets calling for an end to internal Palestinian differences and insisting on Palestinian constants and condemning the Israeli policy of deportation and Judaization policy in occupied Jerusalem.
They headed to the wall where an IOF unit had closed the main gate to block the marchers from heading to the village lands isolated behind the wall.
