Scores of villagers from Nil'in, located near the central West Bank city of Ramallah, along with their international supporters held their weekly protest on Friday midday against the illegal Israeli wall being built on village land.

As soon as locals and international supporters arrived in the part of the village where Israel is building the wall, soldiers showered them with tear gas and rubber-coated steel bullets. They also fired rounds of live ammunition.

Six people were injured including a boy who sustained serious wounds and was moved to a hospital in Ramallah city. Dozens were treated for gas inhalation. Israeli troops attacked the village early on Friday morning and fired tear gas at houses. Local sources said that clashes took place between the invading troops and local youth but no injuries were reported.
