Palestine-Israel, The joint struggle will not end in the near future

Bil'in, Ni'ilin, Jayyous not deterred by state harassment.

During the week we had less activities than during the war week. Wednesday was another demo in the Ni'ilin chain of struggle. State force teams chased demonstrators and stone throwing youngsters up to the center of the village firing lot of tear gas canisters and bullets (rubbed and not rubbed with rubber). Friday were the usual demonstrations against the separation fence in Bil'in, Ni'ilin, and Jayyous. Their new policy included also shooting live ammunition of 0.22 inch towards legs of demonstrations. In Bil'in one of the AAtW activists responded to direct shooting of tear gas canister to the head of a villager youth near him, with a scandal to the state force. The high commander threated him with arrest but as he insisted, the soldiers retreated - afraid from formal investigation of violation of regulations. Saturday, we had a refusnic action and vigil in Jaffa. [Italiano]
