En muchas ciudades se realiza cada semana una protesta en contra de la construcción del Muro y de la Ocupación ilegal de Israel. Las protestas de ayer viernes 1 de abril en Bil'in, Nil'in, Al Masara y Nabi Saleh, fueron violentamente reprimidas por soldados de Israel quienes arrojaron gases lacrimógenos y reprimieron con otras armas no letales. Tres manifestantes resultaron heridos al ser impactados por las cañas lanzadas contra ellos desde corta distancia.
Las protestas del viernes que conmemoraron el día de la tierra, el día en que en 1976 los palestinos organizaron protestas en contra de la confiscación de tierras y seis palestinos fueron tiroteados por tropas isarelíes. Desde entonces siempre se organizan marchas en las que participan activistas internacionales conmemorando el llamado Día de la Tierra y protestando contra la confiscación y anexión de tierras palestinas. En esta oportunidad tres personas resultaron heridas en Bil'in cuando los soldados de Israel los reprimieron con gas lacrimógeno y balas de goma.
En la villa cercana de Ni'lin, durante una protesta similar que se desarrolló luego de la plegaria, cuando los pobladores juntos con acompañantes internacionales intentaron acercarse al alambrado que confisca tierras de sus granjas, tropas de Israel los reprimieron arrojándoles gases lacrimógenos y bombas de estruendo, frozando a los manifestantes a dar marcha atrás. Algunas de las personas debieron ser trasladadas para ser atendidas por los efectos de la inhalación del gas.

The protests on Friday commemorated Palestinian Land Day, the day in 1976 when Palestinians organized protests against Israeli confiscation of their land, and six protesters were gunned down by Israeli troops. Palestinians, along with supporters around the world, organize events each year on Land Day to protest the ongoing Israeli confiscation and annexation of Palestinian land.
According to a report from the Palestine News Network, in the village of Bil’in, where anti wall protests have been organized for the past six years, three men were injured when Israeli troops fired tear gas and rubber-coated steel bullets at protesters. After the midday prayers in the local mosque finished, villagers were joined by international and Israeli peace activists and marched up the gate of the wall separating villagers from their lands.
Troops stationed there opened fire at protesters injuring three. The men sustained injuries when soldiers fired tear gas canisters directly at them. Many others were treated for the effects of tear gas inhalation.
The nearby village of Ni'lin held a similar protest on Friday. After conducting the Friday prayers on lands near the wall, villagers and their supporters marched up to the gate of the wall separating local farmers from their land. Israeli troops used tear gas and sound bombs to force people back. Many were treated for the effects of tear gas inhalation.
In the southern West Bank village of al-Ma’sara, near Bethlehem, Israeli troops used tear gas to suppress the weekly protest against the wall. Local politicians along with Israeli and international supporters joined the villagers after the midday prays and marched to the lands where Israel is building the wall.
Troops fired tear gas to force people back into the village; many were treated for the effects of tear gas inhalation.
