Israeli soldiers invaded on Saturday at night the village of Bil’in, near the central West Bank city of Ramallah, and broke into two homes.

The Friends of Freedom and Justice – Bil’in, reported that this is the second attack in two nights, as the army invaded the village on Friday at night after the villagers and their Israeli and International supporters held their weekly nonviolent protest against the Annexation Wall.

During the Saturday night attack, Israeli soldiers broke into two homes forcing the families out and violently searched the properties.

The two homes are frequent targets for the military, no arrests were reported.

On Friday at night, Israeli soldiers invaded Bil’in and broke into the International and Media House in an attempt to shut down the coverage international peace activists are conducting to document the ongoing Israeli violations against the village and its nonviolent protests against the Wall.

The soldiers dragged the activists out, checked their passports and searched the house; no arrests were made. The army withdrew from the village one hour later.

Bil’in village is a leading example of nonviolent resistance against the Annexation Wall and Israeli settlements. Its weekly nonviolent protests against the Wall are met with excessive violence and use of brutal force by the Israeli military.
