This week at the weekly protest in Bil'in, intentions were clear from the start. While demonstrators, set on crossing the wall to their lands, had a tractor marked by a sign saying "Let us work on our lands" with them, border police officers had occupied the high rooftop of a house inside the village, and were present in larger numbers than usual along the route of the march.

As the march reached at the wall, and denied from continuing forward under the routine of Friday's closed military zone, demonstrators started pulling away and dismantling the razor wire that was blocking the gate.

Soldiers, with an almost ceremonial violent response, volleyed the protesters with concussion and teargas grenades, but were unable to stop the opening of the gate.

Faced by the fact that they were unable to disperse the crowd and prevent it from demanding its right to cross to the village's lands, soldiers called for reinforcement, crossed the gate towards the village and escalated their violence by brutally arresting an Israeli anarchist, knocking him unconscious and stripping him of his shirt and pants with a rough mixture of kicks and punches. Another activist, who tried stopping the violence, was also injured with blood gushing off his head, after a soldier hit him with the barrel of a gun.

A number of people had bruises, cuts and torn cloths. One more villager suffered a head injury.

Meanwhile, the border police officers who were provocatively waiting inside the village were shooting teargas and rubber coated steal bullets at the village's children, as stones were thrown at them, in a legitimate attempt to drive them away from inside village. Two children were shot, one in the face and another in the leg and back.
