The Israeli army and Border Police brutally prevented Friday Bil'in's weekly non-violent demonstration from taking place by firing rubber bullets and sound grenades on protestors as they marched through the village on their way to the so called "Apartheid Wall."
International Solidarity Movement (ISM) said in a press release "Many people from Bil'in, Israelis and internationals have been injured, including an Israeli in very critical condition who was shot just above his right ear with a rubber bullet from close range. "
The demonstrators marched through the village carrying coffins representing the children who have been killed by the Israeli army in order to protest their "New Style of Killing" where even the children are targeted in Israel's aggression.
The Israeli border police and army were stationed along the route of the march that leads to the Apartheid Wall, where the demonstrations usually take place. The military began firing when the protestors were less than 50 meters away, causing many injuries immediately.
At least two Israelis pacifists were shot with rubber bullets, one in the head and one in the leg, a Chinese photographer and a supporter from the US were also shot with rubber bullets.
