The Palestinian villagers were accompanied by a number of International and Israeli peace activists who marched after the Friday prayer to protest the construction of the wall on the villages land.


The protestors carried Palestinian flags and signs calling for the removal of the wall. 

Marking the International Children Day. Protestors also carried signs condemning Israeli measures against Palestinian Children.

As the march arrived near the construction site of the wall, troops, geared up with batons and machine guns attempted to stop them by placing a barbed wire on the road.

Troops tackled the protestors and in the process wounded 52-year-old Suad Joma’a and 10 year old Iyad Hasan bruised by the attacks and were treated on sight by Palestinian medics.
