Israeli troops blocked the road with razor wire to prevent protestors from reaching the land.  As they arrived near the razor wire, troops showered them with tear gas and rubber-coated steel bullets.  Dozens were treated for gas inhalation while six people were directly hit by the steel bullets.Some young protestors responded to the gas and steel bullets with stones. They managed to jump over the razor wire and get a little closer to the Israeli soldiers, who in return fired more tear gas and rubber-coated steel bullets at them. The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported that three Israeli soldiers were slightly wounded.
