Dozens of Palestinian, international and Israeli civilians were treated for gas inhalation as the Israeli army showered them with CS gas during the weekly nonviolent anti-wall protest in the village of Bil’in, west of Ramallah.

A group of 150 protestors marched after the Friday prayers in the village towards the Wall built on the villagers’ land. The Israeli army attacked the civilian protesters with batons, concussion grenades and CS gas causing the head injury of a young man and dozens to suffer from gas inhalation. Eyad Burnat head of the popular committee against the wall and settlements in Bil'in reported from the protest. In addition, troops sprayed protestors with colored chemical water. Burnat told IMEMC he believes the water contained chemicals and could cause skin problems.
