One hundred Palestinian villagers, alongside Israeli and international supporters, on Friday conducted a non-violent protest at the construction site of the illegal Israeli Wall that is destroying the village lands of al-Walaja.
At Friday mid-day, the protestors gathered for prayers, shortly after which the demonstrators marched towards the wall's construction site, holding flags and banners calling for the Wall to be torn down.
Israeli soldiers surrounded the demonstration, marching with it, but not intervening in protest's progress.
Protestors remained at the site for one-and-a-half hours, while speeches were delivered by local organizers, shortly after which the demonstration peacefully dispersed.
