A number of Palestinians and International human rights activists were wounded during the weekly nonviolent anti-wall protest in the West Bank village of Ni’lin near Ramallah.

The protest was organized by the Popular Committee Against the Wall and Settlements in the village to commemorate the killing of two young Palestinians by Israeli army fire in the village two months ago.  The protestors held their Friday prayers on land slated for confiscation for the construction of the wall.

Ahed al-Khawaja, coordinator of the committee, said that Israeli settlers carrying Israeli flags and accompanied by Israeli soldiers attempted to disturb the prayers by making noise with their loudspeakers.

Following the prayers, the worshippers lined up to march in protest against the construction of the wall on their land; however, troops showered them with a number of C.S. gas canisters and several of them, including internationals from Belgium, were treated for gas inhalation and choking.
