At least three civilians have been wounded, one in the head, during an anti-wall protest in the West Bank town of Ni’lin near Ramallah.
The protest was organized by the popular committee against the wall in the town as part of the efforts focused at retrieving their land confiscated for the construction of the wall by the Israeli military.
The three were wounded with rubber-coated steel bullets fired by the Israeli military who invaded the village to prevent the nonviolent protest.
Israeli troops also fired concussion grenades and tear gas canisters at the demonstrators causing dozens to choke.
