The residents of Bil'in village, located near the central west Bank city of Ramallah, marched towards the wall today after Friday prayers. The protest was joined by Israeli and international activists.

Protesters' banners condemned Israel's ongoing policies and violence against civilians, especially in Jerusalem and commemorated what the Palestinians call the Land Day. The protest began in the center of the village then headed towards the Apartheid Wall which is being built on Bil'in's land.

An Israeli army unit stationed behind the wall prevented the crowd from going through the gate.

The army fired tear gas canisters to break up the crowd, Four were injured including a journalist, while dozens suffered from gas inhalation.
