At round 3PM, about 150 people set out from the village center towards the bulldozers razing their lands and orchards. As protesters neared the heavy machinery, they were attacked with teargas projectiles, and then very quickly with rubber bullets, even though demonstrators posed no threat.
Despite the shooting, demonstrators were getting very close to the bulldozers, which forced the army to pull them back towards the nearby settlement. At this stage, a soldier shot a rubber-coated bullet at Mohammed Amira, whose hands were clearly raised in the air, from an illegal range of no more than ten meters (30 feet). The bullet hit Amira's raised arm, and penetrated his biceps just above the elbow, not tearing a main blood vessel only by great luck. He was evacuated to the hospital in Ramallah, where the bullet was pulled out.
