A series of clashes have broken out when Israeli forces attacked
separate groups of Palestinians protesting across the occupied West Bank
and used violent means to disperse the crowds.
On Friday, Palestinians held massive rallies in the villages of
Bil’in and Kfar Qaddum to express their anger over the ongoing Israeli
settlement building and the apartheid wall.
The protesters, including Palestinians and international peace
activists, chanted slogans against the expropriation and the
confiscation of Palestinian land by Israel.
Witnesses said that the demonstrations were largely peaceful until
Israeli forces assaulted the protesters and used water cannons,
rubber-coated bullets, and teargas canisters to break up the protest.
The protesters pelted stones at Israeli forces in return.

The demonstrators also denounced a series of brutal wars waged by Israel on the besieged Gaza strip.
This comes as United Nations is seeking to put the Israeli military
on its blacklist over the regime’s aggressive policies against the
Palestinian people, particularly children.
The move is recently recommended by Leila Zerrougui, the UN secretary
general’s special representative for children and armed conflict.
Zerrougui has said such an act must be taken because of more than 500
Palestinian children who were killed and 3,300 others who were injured
during last summer’s Israeli aggression against the blockaded
Palestinian enclave.
