The Media Coordinator of the Popular Committee in Bil’in, Dr. Rateb Abu Rahma, said the Palestinians and their supporters will continue their struggle against this illegal occupation and its colonialist polices, despite the Israeli escalation.
“As long as this occupation, its colonies and ongoing crimes continue, the resistance will continue,” he said, “We seek liberation, and we will resist this illegal Annexation Wall and colonies.”
As the protesters reached Abu Lemon area, the soldiers started firing a barrage of gas bombs and concussion grenades at them, causing many to suffer the severe effects of teargas inhalation.
