Demonstrators stopping the bulldozers
About 100 people managed to get to the wall's construction site today at around 11:00, and disrupt the bulldozers' work, and one young Palestinian even managed to climb one of the machines. Even before reaching the bulldozers the demonstrators were attacked with teargas and rubber-coated bullets, as well as kicks and punches.

One Israeli and one Palestinian were arrested violently, after a security guard employed by the Israeli ministry of defense ordered border policemen to arrest them, shouting that "they are the main inciters".

Eventually the army managed to push the demonstrators back to the groves, and then inside the village, where a third activist, a French national, was arrested. The army invaded the village and clashes lasted until late in the afternoon. Seven were injured by rubber-coated bullets.
