Local sources reported that the protest had been peaceful as Palestinian, Israeli and international peace activists waved Palestinian flags, banners and posters, when the army attacked them.The source added that Israeli soldiers "showered the protesters with rubber-coated metal bullets, injuring dozens" during the protest".

Most reported injuries were due to teargas inhalation. Protestors carried signs marking the World Children's Day, demonstrations reflected on Israel's "aggression and occupation" that harms Palestinian children.

Hundreds of Palestinian children were killed by Israeli forces over the last 8 years of uprising. Thousands of children have been injured and manyof the political prisoners are minors languishing in Israeli prisons"Demonstrators called on Israel to release all detainees and stressed that its "racist wall" must be removed, along with settlements, roadblocks and checkpoints in the West Bank.
