The International Solidarity Movement is reporting that eighteen
demonstrators were arrested on Saturday in the West Bank village of Deir
alGhussoun, north of Tulkarem, after Israel's Separation Wall was breached by
Palestinian, Israeli and international activists.
Excerpt:
The protesters intended to march to village's lands that were left isolated
behind the Wall, and managed to break open one of the barrier's gates.
The demonstrators managed to break the lock on the gate by rocking it back
and forth, despite the presence of soldiers, but could not reach their lands,
as they were being shot at with rubber-coated steel bullets and teargaW. One
demonstrator was lightly injured after being struck with a rubber-coated bullet
in the leg.
As the demonstration was coming to an end, a large group of soldiers
surprised a group of the protesters by closing in on them from the direction of
the village, and arrested eighteen of the village's youth.
