Mazen Al-Azza, one of the local coordinators, told IMEMC that the protestors were able to reach the wall and remove the wire surrounding the wall's gate and enter the Israeli settlement behind it. Israeli troops dispersed the protest by beating the protestors, later on troops invaded the village and seized 8 French members of the international temporary presence in the village and released them after a couple of hours. The popular committee called for international and humanitarian intervention to stop the violation of human rights and international law by Israel, and the ongoing land-grab in the West Bank to build the wall and settlements.
