Two of this week's demonstrations commemorated those killed by the Israeli Army in the course of the popular struggle. On Sunday - nine Israeli activists were arrested while stopping construction work of the wall in Walaje.
In Bil'in protestors marked the first anniversary to the killing of Jawaher Abu Rahme . Abu-Rahme collapsed in a demonstration last year from excessive exposure to tear gas, and died shortly after.
