”Occupation forces stopped the march from arriving at the separation wall after closing the street and then assaulting the participants. The marchers staged a sit-in there which was followed by the arrest of supporters and the committee's coordinator,” said the committee's media spokesman Mohammed Barijiyya.
Hundreds more rallied in Na'lin after the Friday congregation near the separation wall erected west of Ramallah.
After prayers, the local protesters accompanied by dozens of foreign supporters marched towards the separation wall raising Palestinian flags and those of the Hamas and Fatah parties that have recently reached a unity deal in Cairo.
When they reached the barrier's gates, IOF soldiers showered them with tear gas and stun grenades.
The soldiers fired in the air to disperse the crowd. Dozens of protesters were injured after clashes flared between youths and soldiers.
