The demonstration was attended by hundreds of the residents of the village of Beit U'r and the nearby villages surrounding the West Bank city of Ramallah. Also present were members of the Palestinian Legislative council, International and Israeli peace activists and a local society of Friends of Freedom and Justice of Bilien.
After reaching the settlement road known as road 443 and conducting the Friday prayers there, the group was confronted by Israeli soldiers who were deployed in the area and attacked the protesters with batons.
More than fifteen people were injured including a Palestinian legislator and associated press journalist. Two others were detained. One of the detainees was an Israeli peace activist and the other a Palestinian resident identified as Ahmad al Saadi, from a nearby village. They were taken to an unknown location.
The road 443, which cuts through Palestinian villages and connects them to the rest of the West Bank was closed to Palestinians seven years ago by the Israeli army and since then only Israeli settlers have been allowed to use it.
